Amina Pollard is an American limnologist and ecologist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.[1]
Dr. Pollard heads the U.S. EPA National Lakes Assessment, which seeks to provide information on the health of lakes, ponds, and reservoirs across the United States.[2][3][4] She also currently serves on the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) board of directors until 2021[5], chairs ASLO's annual awards committee[6], and is a scientific advisor to Canada's Lake Pulse research program.[7]
Education and early career
Pollard received her BA from Lawrence University in 1995 and a Master's degree from Wright State University in 1997.[8] In 2002, she received her PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Center for Limnology under the supervision of John Magnuson and Thomas Frost.[9] Pollard studied how the structure and connectedness of streams and lakes affects invertebrate communities within those systems.
After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, Pollard starting working for the EPA as a postdoctoral fellow and has remained at the EPA her entire career.[10]
Career
In 2018, Pollard became the first African-American woman plenary speaker at the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography annual meeting.[10][11][12]
Awards
Embassy Science Fellow in Uruguay[13][14][15]
US EPA Science and Technology Achievement Award[16]
US EPA Gold Medal for Exceptional Service[10]
Friends of North American Lake Management Society Award[17]
