Prior to his retirement, Dr. Anderson’s research program focused on the use of natural and engineered biological systems for environmental control and watershed/source water protection, with application to the problems of urban and semi-urban stormwater and agricultural runoff management (diffuse pollution), and the treatment, discharge or reuse of wastewater from small-scale unserviced areas and industries (e.g. fish hatcheries, greenhouses). These activities were part of a focus on integrated green/sustainable urban and semi-urban areas, for the protection of human health and environmental health in Canadian and international settings (with a major focus in China). A recent significant research activity was the development of watershed beneficial management practices to deal with the emerging problem of cyanobacteria growth in small Canadian freshwater lake systems. 

Many of these projects were conducted at the field scale and carried out in collaboration with other environmental scientists and engineers. Dr. Anderson is or has been a co-principal investigator in the Queen’s/National Water Research Institute Stormwater Quality Enhancement Group; a co-founder and co-principal investigator in the Fudan-Queen’s Co-laboratory of Environmental Research on Urbanization; and principal investigator of the Queen’s Natural FLOWS Research Group. A significant collaborative program was with the Centre for Alternative Wastewater Treatment (CAWT) at Fleming College (Lindsay ON).

Specific to China activities, in 2005 he was a Visiting Senior Scholar at Fudan University (supported by a China-Canada Scholars Exchange Program scholarship), where he developed new partnerships in the research theme area. He has been a Visiting Professor in the State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research, East China Normal University (Shanghai), and he is a co-founding member of the Fudan-Queen’s Sino-Canada Center for Environment and Sustainable Development. Through this Centre, new relationships and research collaborations have been formed with China Agricultural University (2010), Jilin University (2010), Tianjin University (2011), Nankai University (2015) and Sichuan Agricultural University (2012). Continuing research partnerships mainly focus on the development of appropriate and sustainable passive technologies (e.g. constructed wetlands), as an approach for resolving the substantial need for source water protection in China. A significant milestone was achieved in 2015 with Dr. Anderson’s appointment in the High End Foreign Expert Recruitment program of the State Administration for Foreign Expert Affairs, held with the College of Water Sciences, Beijing Normal University. In June 2016 Dr. Anderson was nominated as a Fellow of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, based in large part on his China work. He is currently an Adjunct Professor in the School of Architecture (Dept. of Landscape Architecture), Tianjin University, where he continues research, teaching and supervisory activities.
