Eville Gorham (PhD LlD DSc FAAAS FRSC MNAS FESA) is a Canadian-American scientist whose focus has been understanding the chemistry of fresh waters and the ecology and biogeochemistry of peatlands.〔 In the process, Gorham made a number of practical contributions that included discovering the influence of acid rain in lake acidification,〔〔 plus the importance of the biological magnification of radioactive fallout isotopes in northern food chains.〔〔〔〔 The former led to legislation and redesign of the power plants of the world to scrub sulfuric acid, and the latter was an early step toward the establishment of an atmospheric nuclear test ban treaty. Gorham emphasizes that discovery in science is often the result of chance and serendipity, and encourages students to watch for the opportunities that chance provides.〔 He is recognized as a renaissance scholar〔 who has influenced the careers of others.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eville Gorham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
