Jeffrey Ziegeweid
As a Reports Specialist, I help others communicate scientific information more effectively. I have work experiences in the fields of fisheries, biogeochemistry, microbiology, surface-water hydrology and water quality, hydroacoustics, climate adaptation, research coordination, and science leadership.
