Dr. Lee's research and project management activities include studies to link organic and inorganic contaminants, marine noise, and alterations in hydrodynamic processes to effects on biota, including commercial fisheries species; chemical/microbiological studies on the biotransformation and biodegradation of contaminants; development of novel approaches to assess the impact of organic pollutants by the development and validation of toxicity assays based on advances in genomics, microbial ecology, and biochemical analysis; and coordination of multi disciplinary studies including the application of numerical models to predict the risk of industrial activities and contaminants on ecosystem health.

SINTEF is the largest independent, nonprofit research organization in Scandinavia and has signifi cant expertise in marine environmental technology, including fate and effects of spilled oil in cold regions. His scientific focus is on numerical model development for decision support applications, including coupled physical, biological, and chemical processes in the marine environment, with particular focus on fates and effects of pollutants (including oil, petroleum products, and chemicals)

Her approach is to apply fundamental theoretical models to geophysical observations, including measurements from an ice-based network of drifting automated ocean-profiling instruments, and hydrographic measurements from icebreaker surveys. Her research includes investigations of ocean mixing, eddies, waves, double-diffusive heat transport, and freshwater and heat content in the upper Arctic Ocean.

Since joining the NRC staff in 2008, she has worked on a number of ocean and earth science studies, including such topics as scientific ocean drilling, critical ocean science research needs and infrastructure, the academic research fleet, marine hydrokinetic energy, methane hydrates, and geoscience education. Lauren Brown is an Associate Program Officer with the Polar Research Board and the Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, where she has been involved in a number of studies such as America's Climate Choices, Lessons and Legacies of International Polar Year 2007-2008, and Seasonal to Decadal Predictions of Arctic Sea Ice.
