She has particular expertise in endocrine disruption and\ \ nitrate-related ecotoxicology. Before joining USGS, Dr. Edwards represented\ \ the United States as a Fulbright Scholar in the Okavango Delta in Botswana.As\ \ a group, CERC\u2019s Biochemistry and Physiology Branch conducts diverse biological\ \ studies to understand how environmental stressors and water quality affect\ \ the health of fishes, amphibians, and freshwater mussels. Current projects\ \ investigate hypoxia, contaminants, and nutrient deficiencies. The group is\ \ especially interested in how stressors change gene expression and physiology\ \ to induce disease, inflammation, infertility, or other negative health outcomes\ \ in aquatic wildlife.Additionally, Branch environmental DNA (eDNA) projects\ \ provide powerful information for resource managers as they address invasive\ \ and endangered species challenges. With eDNA technology, our scientists can\ \ detect the presence of a species by taking a water sample. This makes detection,\ \ monitoring, and management of both endangered and invasive species less expensive\ \ and more effective.To accomplish our mission, we collaborate broadly with\ \ other USGS scientists, academic partners, and private companies on mutually\ \ beneficial research and development needs. The work of our dedicated and experienced\ \ staff is supported by the world class aquaculture and laboratory facilities\ \ at CERC. We share and disseminate our findings through scientific publication\ \ and public outreach, and, working with USGS data release protocols, we are\ \ making all our data universally accessible to current and future stakeholders." additionalType: personal statement email: tedwards@usgs.gov hasCredential: - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: Ph.D. Biology, University of Florida 2005 - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: M.S., Botany, University of Florida, 1997 - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: M.S., Environmental Horticulture, University of Florida, 1994 - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: B.S., Horticulture, Virginia Tech, 1991 hasOccupation: - '@type': OrganizationalRole affiliatedOrganization: '@type': Organization name: Columbia Environmental Research Center url: https://www.usgs.gov/centers/columbia-environmental-research-center roleName: Supervisory Research Biologist startDate: '2024-05-12T16:03:08.651124' - '@type': Occupation additionalType: self-claimed professional experience name: "2018 \u2013 present: Branch Chief, Biochemistry and Physiology, USGS Columbia\ \ Environmental Research Center, Columbia, MO" - '@type': Occupation additionalType: self-claimed professional experience name: "2014 \u2013 2018: Research Assistant Professor, Biology, University of\ \ the South, Sewanee, TN" - '@type': Occupation additionalType: self-claimed professional experience name: '2016: Fulbright Scholar, U.S. Department of State and the University of Botswana Okavango Research Institute, Maun, Botswana' - '@type': Occupation additionalType: self-claimed professional experience name: "2011 \u2013 2014: Assistant Professor, Biological Sciences, Louisiana Tech\ \ University, Ruston, LA" - '@type': Occupation additionalType: self-claimed professional experience name: "2009 \u2013 2011: Research Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary\ \ Biology and Pharmacology, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA" identifier: - '@type': PropertyValue propertyID: GeoKB value: https://geokb.wikibase.cloud/entity/Q45891 - '@type': PropertyValue propertyID: ORCID value: 0000-0002-6176-2872 jobTitle: Supervisory Research Biologist knowsAbout: - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Contaminant Biology - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Environmental Health - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Ecotoxicology - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Aquatic Toxicology - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Endocrine Disruption - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Fisheries Biology - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Water Quality - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Environmental DNA memberOf: '@type': OrganizationalRole member: '@type': Organization name: U.S. Geological Survey name: staff member startDate: '2024-05-12T16:03:08.648322' name: Thea M Edwards, PhD url: https://www.usgs.gov/staff-profiles/thea-m-edwards
