Biographical Sketch of Our Facilitator

John R. Trabalka received his Ph.D. in Environmental Health Sciences (specializing in radiation ecology) from the University of Michigan in 1971, and immediately joined the Environmental Sciences Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). He has been a member of the senior research staff at ORNL since 1984. His professional interests and experience have primarily involved the biogeochemistry and effects of environmental pollutants, particularly radionuclides, and have been extremely varied, ranging from protection of human health and the environment at remedial action or waste management sites to anthropogenic effects on global element cycles and climate. His experiences in both research and project and program management within multi-disciplinary environmental programs have led to an increasing involvement in strategic planning activities over the past 15 years. He now serves as technical assistant to Frank Harris at ORNL. [He also has a significant interest in taxonomy, deriving from his doctoral thesis work, which expanded to include the local fauna and flora, particularly wild flowers, following his arrival in Tennessee.]
