The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency&rsquo;s (EPA) Superfund program is responsible for the assessment, cleanup, and reuse of some of the most contaminated sites in the United States. The primary goal of the Superfund program is to protect human health and the environment; th...

Benthic rapid assessment tools are needed to close the gap between sample collection and analysis so managers can better evaluate ecological response to management actions and environmental conditions. Sediment profile imaging (SPI) captures the top centimeters of sediment in cro...

EPA&rsquo;s Office of Research and Development (ORD) is partnering with a community in the Chesapeake Bay region, Crisfield, Maryland, to co-develop research addressing climate-related flooding and erosion issues incorporating natural infrastructure comprised of coastal resources...

This presentation will cover recent research on nutrient inputs, agricultural management and nitrate concentrations in soil solution and groundwater in the southern Willamette Basin&rsquo;s Groundwater Management Area (GWMA).&nbsp;Non-point sources are the predominant inputs of n...

Presentation will be delivered at EPA webinar (Innovations in Environmental Science) and at ACS Fall Meeting. Overview of ongoing F3 research. Investigating the impacts of novel PFAS-free AFFF on environmental and human health is necessary to ensure they are safer, sustainable, a...

This presentation was previously cleared and presented to ECOS and ASTHO. Overview on planned experiments on assessment of PFAS alternatives.&nbsp; Overview of ongoing F3 research. Investigating the impacts of novel PFAS-free AFFF on environmental and human health is necessary to...

This is the presentation based on the abstract, ORD.0.0.0.382.&nbsp; &nbsp;What does it take for a good scientific idea to survive the political lawmaking process? How can scientists and engineers contribute to this effort from inside the legislative branch? For the year 2022, th...

Edge-of-field management practices designed to reduce nutrient pollution in waterways may support or alter critical habitat and ecosystem services in and around agricultural systems. Information on both target and non-target effects is needed to support management decisions as la...

Following Executive Order 14072 issued in April 2022, the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Office of Management and Budget, and Department of Commerce published the final National Strategy to Develop Statistics for Environmental-Economic Decisions (National Strategy) in J...

This presentation will examine how serious games are being used to enhance the US Environmental Protection Agency&rsquo;s (US EPA&rsquo;s) emergency response mission, by improving the ability of the emergency response community to quickly and effectively respond to a range of env...

Should biosolids be contaminated with an intentional malicious release or natural outbreak of Bacillus anthracis spores, a water resource recovery facility (WRRF) may need to consider if their treatment processes can sufficiently inactivate this pathogen. Three methods commonly e...

Disaster debris removal is essential for community recovery and resilience. However, it&nbsp;is a lengthy, costly, and logistically challenging part of response and recovery operations. Managing waste in a disaster situation requires the coordination of multiple&nbsp;entities at ...

This is a talk I will give as part of the Toxics Webinar | Issue Cover Authors of 2023. I will only discuss published work that has been cleared and published in Toxics last year.

For many coastal areas around the Puget Sound, the interplay between weather, surface water, soils, evapotranspiration and groundwater flows is critical to modeling stream flow and predicting quantity and timing of flows under climate change. In this presentation, we introduce an...

Distribution system nitrification is an important issue for water utilities that use chloramines as a secondary disinfectant. This presentation reviews the causes of nitrification and how to monitor, prevent, and react to nitrification events. Furthermore, an update on research n...

This is a poster for the 2023 National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) Conference. This poster aims to demonstrate how EPA develops and delivers resources that meet the science needs of states/territories and other entities through highlighting ORD tools ...

Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of inhalation anthrax, is one of the most highly studied biological threat agents. Significant gaps remain related to the remediation of a wide area following such biological release. This extends to the remediation of critical assets owned...

Overview of the EPA ORD's extramural research grant programs such as STAR, P3, and National Priority will be presented to the academic researchers from Ohio State University.

Omics methodologies are increasingly used to inform human health risk assessment. The volume of transcriptomic data in particular has grown markedly with the commercialization of targeted sequencing approaches that enable high-throughput gene expression profiling. These technolog...

This abstract is for a presentation at the North Carolina Society of Toxicology (NCSOT) Annual Meeting. High-throughput transcriptomics (HTT) can be an efficient tool to screen large sets of chemicals in vitro, determine transcriptional point-of-departures, and investigate toxico...

To cause developmental toxicity, chemical exposures must cause bioactive concentrations in key tissues during susceptible lifestages, including during early fetal development. Next generation chemical risk assessment (NGRA) aims to replace and enhance traditional toxicity testing...

With increasing concerns about freshwater cyanobacteria blooms, there is a need to identify which waterbodies are at risk for developing these blooms, especially those that produce cyanotoxins. To address this concern, we developed spatial statistical models using the US National...

This presentation will review the latest research on inputs, budgets, effects, legacies and management related to non-point source nutrient pollution.&nbsp; Using examples of nitrogen and phosphorus budgets at the national, regional and local scales, Jana Compton from EPA&rsquo;s...

Pew Charitable Trusts &ndash; Peatland Mapping Workshop Series.&nbsp; Amanda Nahlik is invited to present at the Peatland Mapping Workshop webinar focused on quantifying peatland extent with the goal of producing a national peatland map.&nbsp; This webinar series was organized to...

This is a contributed presentation to the Monday Morning Meeting seminar series organized by the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Science at Oregon State University and focuses on the use of joint species distribution modeling to quantify taxon-environment relat...
