Carrie is dedicated to translating science into policy and action to preserve water resources for Freshwater, a 52-year old Minnesota non-profit. A licensed professional geologist, she applies her understanding of geology and hydrogeology to the policy to reduce surface-water pollution and improve groundwater sustainability.
Previously, while at the MnDNR she was Science Reports Lead in the Groundwater Section of the Eco-Waters Division, responsible for establishing and maintaining scientific and technical standards for groundwater-availability and sensitivity maps as well as science reports issued by the DNR County Atlas Program. She was also consulted on water- and geology-related topics within the MnDNR and learned how the agency’s statutory authority was interpreted through the rule-making process. She was also a geologist with DNR Lands and Minerals in the Aggregate Division.
In her 24-year field-geologist career at the Minnesota Geological Survey, she published 35 peer-reviewed articles, 28 maps, and wrote grants to fund over $1.5 million worth of applied research projects. She has a strong mapping and academic reputation among geologists in the geological surveys of all the glaciated Great Lakes states and was an officer of North Central Section of the Geological Society of America.
Carrie is adjunct faculty at the Univ. of Minn. in Earth and Environmental Sciences, chaired their external advisory board for 3 years, and has taught a field-oriented geology course since 1994. She is a member-at-large of the State Boards of Geologists and a member of their Council of Examiners, reviewing the exam administered to all geologists seeking licensure across the country.
