Jane Sexton

Managing Environmental Scientist

Ms. Jane Sexton specializes in aquatic sampling, sediment quality evaluations, and sediment toxicity and bioaccumulation testing. Ms. Sexton has co-authored a variety of technical reports and journal publications. She has developed numerous complex technical reports and research proposals and has provided quality assurance reviews of toxicity test data for numerous projects.

In her 18 years of experience, she has directed numerous field projects related to the ecological effects of toxic chemicals in freshwater, estuarine, and marine environments throughout the United States. Ms. Sexton has served as field supervisor for marine, estuarine, and freshwater sampling events to assess possible contamination at a variety of sites across the United States. She has collected sediment, surface water, interstitial water, plants, insects, snails, fish, crabs, oysters, and benthic invertebrates and is familiar with the use of a broad array of sampling equipment, including van Veen grab samplers, gravity corers, piston corers, vibra-corers, impact corers, diver-assisted corers, drive rod check-valve corer, jet probe, modified ponar grab samplers, Ekman grab samplers for the collection of sediment samples, and a depth integrated sampler for the collection of surface water samples. Ms. Sexton is adept at the application of ultraclean sampling protocols to quantify the concentrations of trace elements in a variety of environmental media. Ms. Sexton has also participated in the collection of water quality and stream flow measurements. In addition, Ms. Sexton has coordinated and supervised several underwater diver-assisted surveys to evaluate the benthic environment.
