Assistant Scientist

Mr. Micah Marcy is an assistant scientist with experience in environmental research including groundwater, surface water, and air quality impact from contamination events. He has conducted fieldwork and used data to investigate stream water quality in drought-stricken Utah and air quality impacts of dust storms, winter inversions, and fireworks.


Air Quality Monitoring

Air Quality Monitoring, Northern Utah Used active air samplers with filters to collect airborne particulate matter to investigate the impacts of different events, such as dust events, winter inversions, and fireworks, on air quality in northern Utah. Data was collected every 2 weeks continually for 2.5 years. Particulate matter was analyzed for 44 major and trace element abundances as well as 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios. Used MATLAB® to perform a principal component analysis on the data to identify event fingerprints.

Water Quality Sampling

Snake River Plain Aquifer Recharge, Idaho Designed and conducted a survey of water in recharge regions for the Eastern Snake River Plain. Analyzed water for potential contaminants and compared results to federal and local water quality requirements.

Modeling

3-Dimensional Geologic Model of the Leading Sevier Thrust, Montana Created a 3‑dimensional geologic model of the leading thrust of the Sevier Thrust belt, a structurally complex region of Montana.

Sampling

Sediment Investigation, Connecticut Analyzed data from field investigations to characterize the nature and extent of constituents, assess sediment stability, and describe historical and ongoing fate and transport processes across a New England waterbody.  The program included two rounds of sediment, water column, and tissue sampling.  Identified potential data gaps and additional sampling activities, and cowrote the investigation report for submittal to state agencies.
