Dr. Hinton's research interests are: Transport and fate of radioactive contaminants in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems; effects of low-level, chronic irradiation on biota; human and ecological effects from exposure to contaminant mixtures;transgenerational effects from contaminant exposure; human and ecological risk analyses; remediation of radioactively contaminated wetlands; contaminant transport models; the use of radioactive tracers as a tool for understanding fundamental ecological processes.

When Dr. Hinton's collective work is examined, five major themes emerge that highlight his research interests along the continuum of radiation ecology. The themes are listed below, along with a code that groups the associated works. You can read about Dr. Hinton's contribution to each theme by clicking on the theme which will take you to a webpage detailing his contributions to the theme and a listing of associated papers and reports.
