Thomas M. Holsen is currently a professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Clarkson University and co-director of the Clarkson Center for the Environment.  He obtained a PhD degree from the University of California at Berkeley in Civil and Environmental Engineering in 1988.  His primary research interests include the transport, transformations and fate of hydrophobic organic chemicals, mercury, metals, and ions in a wide array of environmental systems.  He was a reviewer of several congressionally mandated reports on the importance of atmospheric deposition to the Great Waters, was a member of the EPA Science Advisory Board, and recently testified at a Congressional briefing on the POPs negotiations.  He has published extensively on the absolute and relative importance of atmospheric deposition of toxic substances in and their cycling within several large ecosystems.  He regularly teaches a graduate course on the transport of pollutants in the environment.   He has over 80 publications and has successfully supervised research projects from industrial sources and State and Federal Agencies.
