   abstract: Johanna Blake has devoted her career to understanding geochemical processes
     that may effect surface water and groundwater especially related to rock-water,
     sediment-water, and ash-water interactions. She focuses her research on inorganic
     geochemistry related to mining, sediment, and wildfires and specializes in elements
     including uranium, arsenic, molybdenum, selenium, lead, chromium, and rare earth
     elements. Johanna has worked on issues related to uranium mining in the Grants
     Mineral Belt, New Mexico, on the Navajo Nation, and along the Texas Gulf Coast.
     She has been the lead scientist in New Mexico working on post-Gold King Mine
     spill research in the Animas and San Juan Rivers and has worked on understanding
     potential effects of mining on two drinking water reservoirs along the Animas
     River. She is the co-lead for a large project working to track the source(s)
     of metals to the San Juan River through Navajo Nation. In addition, Johanna
     works on wildfires and water quality including identifying mechanisms of element
     mobility from ash especially related to systems with multi-stressors including
     drought, flood, wildfire, and mining. More recently, Johanna has joined a multi-disciplinary
     team to understand the effects of coal mining on a transboundary reservoir in
     Canada and Montana.
