Personal profile
Research interests
Dr. Erickson is an adjunct faculty member, IonE Fellow, and research hydrologist with the US Geological Survey. Her research focus is the occurrence, fate, and transport of toxic contaminats in glacial and bedrock aquifers. She studies geogenic (e.g., arsenic, manganese, and other contaminants from geologic sources) and anthropogenic contaminants (nitrates, chloride, and other contaminants from people) in groundwater systems. Dr. Erickson's work relates groundwater quality problems to negative affects on drinking water aquifers and drinking water availability.
