SummaryAs Director of the Environmental Health Division (EHD) of the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH), I am constantly working with state management agencies and key stakeholders to ensure that we respond to current and emerging issues to assess our state’s environmental health. My faculty link through the UW Environmental Chemistry and Technology Program allows graduate students to develop applied research projects that support the WSLH mission. State-of-the-art analytical instrumentation at WSLH for organic, inorganic and radioisotopic compounds allows for a wide range of opportunities in environmental chemistry research. It also provides opportunities to work alongside some of the state’s most innovative analytical chemists to develop techniques and analyze samples from key environmental projects in the Great Lakes region and beyond.
My recent research has centered on cycling of mercury in the aquatic environment. I plan to continue to conduct research on low-level trace metal cycling, especially with regard to factors affecting bioaccumulation in plankton and fish. I plan to utilize stable isotopic techniques to study transport and transformations of trace metals in the environment.
My past research has also focused on natural organic compounds in lakes and rivers. I am particularly interested in developing research projects that build on our experiences studying natural aquatic pigments (chlorophyll, carotenoids and other accessory pigments) and gaining better insight into processes responsible for production of key algal toxins in Wisconsin waters.
