Dr. Graeme Spiers is the Chair of Environmental Monitoring at Laurentian University. Graeme is cross appointed in the Departments of Chemistry - Biochemistry, Earth Sciences and Biology, and Director of the Centre for Environmental Monitoring with MIRARCO.

He has 25 years of research and facilities management experience in academic, government and commercial laboratory environments. His research has focused on effects of acidification and extreme metal insult on pedologic processes, particularly as these relate to seasonal metal fluxes to water bodies.
