 abstract: I am a biogeochemist who has been with the Survey since 1991. I was born
   and raised in Queens, NY and have lived in Wisconsin (doctorate and hired into
   the USGS), Michigan (post doc), Florida (attached to the USGS), Puerto Rico (attached
   to the USGS), Alberta (attached to the USGS), and now in Raleigh still with the
   USGS. I am trained in early diagenetic processes involving organic matter decomposition
   in bed sediments and pelagic-benthic coupling processes. I have extensive experience
   with sediment coring and porewater extraction.  I have an interest in using biogenic
   silica in lake sediments to reconstruct paleoclimate.
