About
Christine’s dissertation work focuses on contaminant transport, impacts of micropollutants on soil and aquatic organisms, and dispersal of antibiotic resistance genes through manure application. Her work is focused on the transport and impact of contaminants from agricultural sites, specifically on antibiotic residue transport. Her dissertation will spans laboratory and field experiments focused on understanding the mechanisms of transport for antibiotic residuals with manure, soil, and water, as well as an interview-based study aimed at understanding impacts of antibiotics on farm operations and perceived transport around farms. Christine completed her PhD at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY and is now a USDA Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Connecticut
