Thesis: Atmospheric Mercury and Deposition at the Great Salt Lake, Utah and Reno, Nevada

Biography:

Research interests include surface water chemistry and fate of containments. My research has primarily focused in atmospheric mercury deposition to the Great Salt Lake, Utah and how this terminal lake is effecting mercury deposition and fate within the lake. My future plan is to continue to work with surface waters through monitoring, chemical analyses, and modeling.

Research topics:
Aquatic Chemistry
Surface Water Hydrology
