Scientific Research
Dr. Martha Sutula is the head of SCCWRP's Biogeochemistry Department, where she oversees projects related to the effects of climate change and anthropogenic pollution on acidification, hypoxia, harmful algal blooms, and eutrophication. Her research group combines the use of observations, experiments and numerical models to understand drivers and ecological impacts of these phenomena in streams, lakes, estuaries and coastal waters.
Beyond her research activities, she focuses on linking science to management. Examples of this include her work as lead scientist to the California State Water Resources Control Board, providing technical support to develop eutrophication water quality objectives for waters of the State.
She received her B.S. in chemistry from Purdue University in 1987, M.S. in public health from Tulane University in 1994, and Ph.D. in coastal oceanography from Louisiana State University in 1999. She joined SCCWRP in March 2001.
