<br />Research
<br />Effects of atmospheric deposition, particularly nitrogen and ozone, on terrestrial and
<br />aquatic ecosystems; quantifying ambient air quality :standards to protect vegetation;
<br />monitoring health of forest ecosystems; dose/response of air pollutants and
<br />vegetation; climatic change effects on alpine and subalpine ecosystems; identifying
<br />air quality related values and critical loads in wilderness ecosystems; establishment
<br />of trees on natural and reclaimed soils.
<br />Educational Background
<br />Doctor of Philosophy, University of Wisconsin, 1972, Eiotany and Forestry.
<br />Master of Science, Iowa State University, 1967, Silviculture.
<br />Bachelor of Science, Iowa State University, 1964, Forestry.
<br />Professional Experience
<br />1988 -Present: Plant Physiologist, Sustaining Alpine <~nd Forest Ecosystems under
<br />Atmospheric and Terrestrial Disturbances, USDA, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain
<br />Research Station. Research established long-term aitmospheric deposition
<br />monitoring at the Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site (GLEES), an
<br />alpine/subalpine research watershed in southeastern Wyoming; and established a
<br />biogeochemical service laboratory for water and plant tissue analyses. Current
<br />research is on effects of atmospheric deposition and climatic change on aquatic and
<br />terrestrial ecosystems; air and water quality in mountain ecosystems; emissions of
<br />greenhouse gases from alpine and subalpine ecosystems; quantifying ozone flux
<br />ambient air quality standards; and establishing aspen trees on reclaimed soils.
