Lucas comes from an environmental biology background, and is particularly interested in how anthropogenic activities can influence community structure within ecosystems. His current research allows him the opportunity to reconstruct the composition of past diatom and chironomid communities in lake Diefenbaker and interpret observed trends in community composition from an ecotoxicological perspective.

Lucas' research goal is to reconstruct past trends in the nutrient status of Lake Diefenbaker using palelimnological techniques. Based on observations made following his first year of study, his research team hopes to identify sites of toxicological interest and determine whether toxicity can be observed in 10-day whole-sediment toxicity tests using chironomids.
