Intro
I have been a hydrologist with the US Geological Survey for over 25 years, and have authored over 50 publications focusing on the source and transport of trace organics (including pharmaceuticals, hormones, personal care products and pesticides) in urban and agricultural settings across the United States. My research has focused on organic wastewater compounds in groundwater, surface water and wastewater systems. Most recently I have used newly developed analytical, sampling, and statistical techniques to assess loadings of hormones and other organic contaminants from combined sewer overflows to adjacent surface water systems.
Science and Products

Mycotoxins: diffuse and point source contributions of natural contaminants of emerging concern to streams
Contaminants in stream sediments from seven United States metropolitan areas: part I: distribution in relation to urbanization
Combined sewer overflows: an environmental source of hormones and wastewater micropollutants
Pharmaceutical formulation facilities as sources of opioids and other pharmaceuticals to wastewater treatment plant effluents
Method description, quality assurance, environmental data, and other Information for analysis of pharmaceuticals in wastewater-treatment-plant effluents, streamwater, and reservoirs, 2004-2009
Evaluating the behavior of gadolinium and other rare earth elements through large metropolitan sewage treatment plants
Fate of estrogenic compounds during municipal sludge stabilization and dewatering
Wastewater effluent, combined sewer overflows, and other sources of organic compounds to Lake Champlain
