Her responsibilities <br /> at AECOS include project management, production of natural resources reports,flora/fauna field <br /> surveys,water quality sampling, and wetland delineation. Prior to AECOS, Patricia worked as a research <br /> assistant in multiple university settings, primarily focusing on mercury bioaccumulation. Notably, her <br /> dissertation investigated how various conditions affect methylmercury accumulation by marine plankton <br /> in laboratory, coastal, and open-ocean environments. Her other past work includes invasive species <br /> monitoring, microplastic surveys, and open-ocean plankton monitoring. Currently, Patricia has three <br /> peer-reviewed publications. <br /> Patricia received her Ph.D. in Oceanography in 2023 from the University of Connecticut. She also holds <br /> an M.S. in Oceanography that was awarded during this time. She received her B.S. in Environmental <br /> Science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2017. Her coursework and research have also provided a <br /> wide breadth of knowledge and a strong mathematical background. Briefly, relevant courses include <br /> advanced chemical oceanography, biological/geological/physical oceanography, aqueous geochemistry, <br /> groundwater hydrology, statistics in experimental design, as well as calculus I/II and differential <br /> equations. Patricia has over four years of experience using R for statistics and figures that have been <br /> used in peer-reviewed publications. <br /> Patricia is currently certified for OSHA HAZWOPER(1910.120/1926.65), MARSEC, First Aid, CPR/AED, and <br /> she holds an active Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)for working around harbors. <br />
