 abstract: Sarah's research interests cover the application of taxonomy, paleoecology,
   and biogeography to environmental assessment. Most recently, Sarah worked on regional
   river surveys, using diatoms, eDNA, and algal metrics to assess the impacts of
   a variety of stresses on freshwater organisms. For several years, Sarah has managed
   the USGS BioData Algal Taxonomy section, keeping algal nomenclature up to date
   and in accordance with the International Code of Algae, Fungi, and Plants (INA).
   She is passionate about sharing algal taxonomy and ecology with scientists, students,
   and the public. Sarah currently serves as the Chair of the Editorial Review Board
   for the collaborative (USGS, EPA & University of Colorado), electronic, peer-reviewed
   flora, Diatoms of North America (diatoms.org).Sarah's published research covers
   a wide range of topics including atmospheric deposition of nitrogen, aquatic invasive
   species, environmental DNA sequencing, harmful algal blooms, paleolimnology, automated
   identification of organisms, development of new assessment methods, and modeling
   algal species response.
