   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.
