 abstract: My research focuses on the occurrence, fate, and transport of contaminants
   in the aquatic environment. Recent activities and interests include:- Developing
   novel field methods to quantify fluvial sediment-bound chemical concentrations
   and fluxes from rivers to Puget Sound- Entry and movement of urban contaminants
   in nearshore coastal environments- Monitoring of legacy contaminants (e.g., PCBs
   and metals), emerging contaminants (e.g., microplastics and endocrine-disrupting
   chemicals), and microbial contaminants (e.g., bacteria, viruses, and fecal indicators)
   in aquatic resources with implications for ecological and human health- Providing
   technical guidance for water-quality projects, including study design, data quality,
   and dissemination
