My position is somewhat unique in that I am both the director of Lab Studies at the
W.H. Miner Institute (Chazy, NY), and an adjunct within the CEES department. As an
employee of the Miner Institute, I help facilitate and teach ENV440 (Agriculture and
the Environment) in the fall as part of the applied environmental science program.
As an adjunct lecturer, I teach Introduction to Environmental Science classes (ENV101
A and WB). I am also a principle investigator on multiple funded Edge of Field projects
that look at nutrient movement from surface and subsurface (“tile drains”) pathways
in agriculture fields. These projects will look to quantify portions of nitrogen and
phosphorus that are exported form farm fields under different cropping and management
conditions. With millions of miles of “tile drainage” already installed in the Lake
Champlain Basin, data from these projects could have potentially large impact on environmental,
economic and social issues within the region.
Finally, I have created a high school chemistry program that operates every spring
with several local schools. The goals of this program is to work with high school
juniors and seniors in an advanced STEM environment.
