Amie M Brady
Amie is the supervisor of the Public Health Science and Laboratory Sevices section for the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Water Science Center and is the Laboratory Manager for the Ohio Water Microbiology Laboratory and the Kentucky Sediment Laboratory.
Amie received her Bachelor of Science (1999) and Masters of Science (2002) degrees in Environmental Science from the Ohio State University. She started her career at the USGS in 2000 at the Ohio Water Science Center working on a variety of water-quality projects. She became the Laboratory Manager for the Ohio Water Microbiology Laboratory and the Kentucky Sediment Laboratory in 2019. In 2020, Amie became the supervisor of the Public Health Science and Laboratory Sevices section for the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Water Science Center.
Science and Products
Microbial source tracking as a tool for TMDL development, Little Blue River in Independence, Missouri
Comparing rapid and culture indicator bacteria methods at inland lake beaches
Predictive models for Escherichia coli concentrations at inland lake beaches and relationship of model variables to pathogen detection
Comparison of filters for concentrating microbial indicators and pathogens in lake-water samples
Comparative effectiveness of membrane bioreactors, conventional secondary treatment, and chlorine and UV disinfection to remove microorganisms from municipal wastewaters
Log removals of bacterial indicators, coliphage, and enteric viruses were studied in three membrane bioreactor (MBR) activated-sludge and two conventional secondary activated-sludge municipal wastewater treatment plants during three recreational seasons (May-Oct.) when disinfection of effluents is required. In total, 73 regular samples were collected from key locations throughout treatment process
Development and implementation of a regression model for predicting recreational water quality in the Cuyahoga River, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio 2009-11
The Cuyahoga River within Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) is at times impaired for recreational use due to elevated concentrations of Escherichia coli (E. coli), a fecal-indicator bacterium. During the recreational seasons of mid-May through September during 2009–11, samples were collected 4 days per week and analyzed for E. coli concentrations at two sites within CVNP. Other water-quality an
