Jay Clausen
User Profile
Jay Clausen is a physical research scientist working for the US Army Corps of Engineers, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory located in Hanover, NH. His recent research has covered the fate and transport of energetic materials, the speciation of tungsten in the natural environment, and the application of Quantum Structure Activity Relationship models for assessing the physical/chemical properties of novel military compounds.
Jay is also a doctoral student in the Natural Resources and Earth Systems Science program at the University of New Hampshire and plans to study the green-house gas emissions emitted by the US Army Corps of Engineers, identification of mitigation measures to place the Corps on a sustainability footing, and the applicability of multiple criteria decision analysis tools to assist in the identification and selection of mitigation measures. He has Masters degree from the University Maine focused on the geochemistry of Maine groundwater and undergraduate degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha focused on the chemistry of soils from the Spruce-Fir Zone in North Carolina and Tennessee.
