Dr. Hoagland’s expertise covers contaminant fate and transport, geochemical modeling, groundwater/surface water interactions, and human impacts on ecosystems. She has experience providing litigation support and testimony, leading field investigations, evaluating chemical fingerprints, and assessing environmental issues both domestically and internationally. She has applied skills in geochemical modeling, managed aquifer recharge, environmental sampling, data processing and visualization, and analytical chemistry.
Her experience includes providing community-embedded science services leading trainings and workshops for marginalized communities to address a wide range of water-resource challenges. She provides expertise for projects to address inorganic contaminants and PFAS, particularly in watersheds impacted by mining, agriculture and industry. Dr. Hoagland contributes to numerous expert and site reports that integrate hydrogeochemical data across multiple environmental media.
