Instructors Bio

Madeline Schreiber
Associate Professor, Geosciences
Virginia Tech University

Madeline Schreiber's research in chemical hydrogeology involves analysis and quantification of chemical and biological processes that impact contaminant transport. Over the past 10 years, Schreiber and her students have focused on biotransformation of both organic and inorganic species by subsurface microorganisms, adsorption of arsenic species (organic and inorganic) to subsurface materials, and release of trace elements from minerals during oxidative and reductive dissolution. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the National Institutes for Water Research, and private foundations. Schreiber received PhD and MS degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a BS degree from Yale University.


Madeline Gotkowitz
Hydrogeologist, Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey
Professor, University of Wisconsin - Extension

Madeline Gotkowitz is a research scientist at the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, where her work focuses on regional groundwater flow and transport modeling, subsurface fate and transport of human enteric viruses, and flow and transport across aquitards. Gotkowitz's field-based investigations of arsenic in groundwater address conditions in surficial and bedrock aquifers, and the affect of well disinfection on arsenic release. Gotkowitz holds a B.A. in Environmental Sciences from Smith College and an M.S. in Hydrology from New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.
