Arctic Marine Ecotoxicology

Patrick Omoregie Isibor, Ph.D., is a Lecturer and Researcher on Pollution Studies and Ecotoxicology in the Department of Biological Sciences at Covenant University. He received his Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Pollution Studies and Ecotoxicology from the University of Benin and a B.Sc. in Zoology from Ambrose Alli University. Dr. Isibor's research interests include ecotoxicology, hydrobiology, bioaccumulation, biosequestration, biodiversity conservation, and aquatic ecology. He is a member of the Association for Environmental Impact Assessment of Nigeria (AEIAN), the International Association of Risk and Compliance Professionals (IARCP), and the African Society for Toxicological Sciences (ASTS). He is an Editor for the African Journal of Health, Safety, and Environment and a reviewer for several reputable international journals. He is the co-editor of the books Biotechnological Approaches to Sustainable Development Goals (Springer, 2023), Environmental Nanotoxicology: Combatting the Minute Contaminants (Springer, 2024), and Nanochitosan-Based Enhancement of Fisheries and Aquaculture: Aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 14 – Life Below Water (Springer, 2024).
