We have two new papers out in Environmental Science & Technology on PFAS partitioning in (1) naturally forming foams and the surface microlayer and (2) freshwater ice. Both papers were led by postdoc Summer Sherman-Bertinetti. For more on the foam study, please see the UW-News video and press release.

Congratulations to Eddie Kostelnik (left) and Lauryn Angell (right) on successfully defending their master’s theses in Environmental Chemistry and Technology. Eddie studied the photochemistry of dissolved organic matter and Lauryn studied the fate of lampricides in tributaries of the Great Lakes.

Congrats to Jenna Swenson for her shiny new first-author paper in Environmental Science & Technology. She investigated the combined impacts of cations and dissolved organic matter on manganese oxide reactivity in collaboration with Matt Ginder-Vogel. We are super proud of her work on this incredibly complex system.

Our latest study on aquatic herbicides is now out in Environmental Science: Processes and Impacts. This was a team effort, with work performed by two master’s students (Sydney Van Frost and Angela Magness), a PhD student (Amber White), and a UW-Madison undergraduate (Josie Jauquet). They showed that laboratory measurements underestimate the persistence of the herbicide fluridone in lakes.
