Adrian G Mann
I am a Physical Scientist and Laboratory Manager of the Environmental Geochemistry Laboratories, providing analytical support for projects in Coastal and Estuarine research. Additionally, I serve as the center Safety Officer.
I have 20+ years of analytical experience in surface water and groundwater analysis of water-quality, nutrients, trace metals, and dissolved carbon. As Laboratory Manager at the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center, I support projects with sample collection, sample analysis and data analysis. Along with the other analytical facilities within our center, the Sediment Lab and Gas Hydrates Lab, I strive to maintain state-of-the-art equipment and provide the highest-quality results for publication.
Professional Experience
Physical Scientist, USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center, Nov. 2006-present
Research Assistant III, The Ecosystems Center, Marine Biological Laboratory, 2002-2006
Education and Certifications
M.S. in Geology/Geochemistry, University of Alabama, 2000
B.S. in Geology, Millsaps College, 1996
Science and Products
Soil carbon consequences of historic hydrologic impairment and recent restoration in coastal wetlands
Impoundment increases methane emissions in Phragmites-invaded coastal wetlands
Substantial nitrous oxide emissions from intertidal sediments and groundwater in anthropogenically-impacted West Falmouth Harbor, Massachusetts
Continuous resistivity profiling and seismic-reflection data collected in April 2010 from Indian River Bay, Delaware
Short-term nitrogen additions can shift a coastal wetland from a sink to a source of N2O
Variations in the reflectivity of the moho transition zone beneath the Midcontinent Rift System of North America: results from true amplitude analysis of GLIMPCE data
Environmental Geochemistry
Analytical Facilities
Water column properties and temporal hydrologic and chemical records from flooded caves (Ox Bel Ha and Cenote Crustacea) within the coastal aquifer of the Yucatan Peninsula, Quintana Roo, from December 2013 to January 2015
Carbon dioxide and methane fluxes with supporting environmental data from coastal wetlands across Cape Cod, Massachusetts (ver 2.0, June 2022)
Saline tidal wetlands are important sites of carbon sequestration and produce negligible methane (CH4) emissions due to regular inundation with sulfate-rich seawater. Yet, widespread management of coastal hydrology has restricted vast areas of coastal wetlands to tidal exchange. These ecosystems often undergo impoundment and freshening, which in turn cause vegetation shifts like invasion by Phragm
