About
GreenWater/CyanoLab — GWL/CL Staff
GWL/CL is nationally and internationally
recognized leaders in the field of toxigenic cyanobacteria
analyses. Our staff has over 50 years cumulative experience
in the fields of aquatic biology, limnology, phycology,
aquatic toxicology, analytical chemistry and cyanotoxin
analyses.
 Christopher
D. Williams, Ph.D.
President, GreenWater Laboratories/CyanoLab
Aquatic Toxicologist - Detailed
CV
Dr. Williams
has been with GreenWater Laboratories/CyanoLab
since its inception and has worked in the
field of water quality and aquatic toxicology
research for over 20 years and in the field
of cyanotoxin production for over seven
years. Dr. Williams has managed numerous
long-term monitoring projects for federal,
state, county, and private agencies and
has been an invited speaker to numerous
national and international conferences
and workshops regarding the identification
and prevalence of cyanotoxins in the aquatic
environment.

 Mark
T. Aubel, Ph. D.
Vice President, GreenWater Lab/CyanoLab
Analytical Chemist - Detailed
CV
Dr. Aubel joined GreenWater
Laboratories/CyanoLab in March of 2002 after
spending 12 years as a Research and Senior
Research Scientist in the Pulp and Paper
Division of Hercules, Inc. He is presently
Vice President and the principle analytical
chemist of GreenWater Lab/CyanoLab. He is
responsible for the development and supervision
of the lab’s current analytical chemistry
services for the analysis of algal toxins.
Mark amassed considerable experience throughout
his career with the development and implementation
of both chromatographic and spectrometric
applications for the identification and quantification
of ultra-trace organic contaminants in aqueous
matrices. This background provides the foundation
for the state-of-the-art sample preparation
techniques and liquid chromatographic/mass
spectrometric (LC/MS) methodologies currently
utilized at GreenWater Labs/CyanoLab for
the analysis of algal toxins. Mark’s
history of research and adaptation with analytical
methodologies provides a unique resource
for the continued evolution and competitiveness
of the analytical chemistry capabilities
at GreenWater Labs/CyanoLab.

Andrew Chapman, M.S.
Phycologist, Aquatic Biologist - Detailed
CV
Andrew was one of the
original staff members of GreenWater Laboratories/CyanoLab
beginning in March 2001. He is currently
the head staff phycologist and is responsible
for identification and enumeration of algae
samples in addition to project management
and report preparation. He also isolates
cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) for culture
and maintains a culture collection. Andrew
has studied algae for over 15 years and
has published articles in some of the leading
journals in his field. Andrew's focus is
on freshwater cyanobacteria taxonomy and
is regularly asked to present talks and
workshops on the identification of these
important organisms.

 Amanda
Foss, B.S.
Environmental Chemist/Limnologist - Detailed
CV
Amanda Foss is the newest staff member
at GreenWater Laboratories/CyanoLab. Amanda
is an environmental chemist who graduated
in 2006 with her Bachelor of Science from
Lake Superior State University. At LSSU,
Amanda conducted cyanobacterial research,
which focused on the effectiveness of current
molecular methods for microcystin detection.
She also worked with HPLC and ELISA for
the detection of cyanobacterial toxins
as a research assistant to Dr. Judy Westrick.
Amanda’s primary responsibilities
at GWL/CL include assisting and organizing
field monitoring programs, the in vitro
culture of toxigenic species for the purification
of standards, and performing toxin extractions
and analyses.
Amanda is currently enrolled
in the University of Florida’s Master
of Science program with the Department
of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, and
will be studying aspects of cyanotoxin
production.
