Katrina
Pound, Ph.D.
Dallas/Fort Worth Area
Highly educated environmental scientist with mission to actively provide meaningful contributions to environmental protection and improvements. Strong communication, writing and analytical skills. Experience collaborating with scientists of diverse backgrounds on USGS and TCEQ directed projects. Adaptable interests on how physical and chemical factors affect living organisms. Independent researcher and problem solver. Eager for career associated with industry challenges for applying environmental science developments, water quality improvements, and pollution problem resolutions.
Experience
University of Texas at Arlington
Ph.D.
Environmental science research. Identified diatoms from acid impacted streams in the Adirondack region of New York. Collaborated with scientists at the USGS in Troy, New York. Performed statistical programming and analysis in the R package and other programs. Presented research at public outreach events and professional meetings. Assisted in writing a report of project results to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Published first author publication on dissertation research in Global Change Biology. Biology labs instructor for undergraduates.
University of Texas at Arlington
Postdoctoral Researcher
Analyze the distribution of stream diatoms, aquatic insects, and fish throughout the continental United States and project species distributions in response to climate change. Identify periphyton from Texas streams to develop an index of stream nutrient status. Coordinate project goals with other scientists at the Texas Institute for Applied Environmental Research. Perform analyses and generate tables and figures in Excel, R package, and other statistical programs. Create presentations in PowerPoint to present orally for public outreach and professional meetings. Provide written report of results to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Prepare manuscripts for submission to peer reviewed journals.
Texas State University - San Marcos
Master of Science
Performed microscope analysis of gut contents of introduced Hypostomus (suckermouth catfish) in the San Marcos River. Collected and prepared specimens of Hypostomus and other major trophic groups in the river for stable isotope analysis. Published first author publication on the results and presented this work at the Texas Chapter of the American Fisheries Society and American Fisheries Society meetings. Assisted in field collections of fish and macroinvertebrates in streams throughout east, central, and west Texas. Biology labs instructor for ungraduates.
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Intern
Assessed storm water permit applications. Reported deficiencies and permit approval status to commercial applicants.
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Aquatic Scientist
Reviewed water rights permit applications. Researched potential impacts of proposed water usage to aquatic life. Generated reports as a basis for the formal agency response to water rights requests.
