Dr. Holmén
joined the CEE faculty as an assistant professor in August
2001. Britt's undergraduate education was at a small liberal
arts college in the middle of Maine. "If engineering
had been an option at Colby, I would have been an engineer
from the start", she says today, although she is also
very grateful for having had the opportunity to obtain a
liberal arts education. After obtaining her master's degree
in geological oceanography, Dr. Holmén worked as
a geochemist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
(Cambridge, MA) and as an environmental consultant at Cambridge
Analytical Associates (Boston, MA). These "real-world"
experiences convinced her that she needed a Ph.D. in order
to be the one making the decisions. She did her time at
the 'other' school on the banks of the Charles River prior
to heading west to UCD to work as a post-doc with Bill Casey
(LAWR) in 1994. Atmospheric particulate matter became a
focus of her lidar research at Crocker
Nuclear Laboratory and as an adjunct faculty
member in the UC
Davis Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
.
