Timothy Mousseau

Dr. Mousseau has worked with Fairewinds for many years now. Since 1999, along with his collaborators, Mousseau has explored the ecological and evolutionary consequences of the radioactive contaminants affecting populations of birds, insects and people inhabiting the Chernobyl region of Ukraine. Their research suggests that many species of plants and animals suffer from increased mutational loads as a result of exposure to radionuclides stemming from the Chernobyl disaster.
