Micheline Labrie is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences at SMAST-UMassD. Dr. Labrie’s expertise is in biogeochemistry, specifically, testing innovative technologies aimed at mitigating nutrient and plastic pollution in freshwater and coastal systems. Her research and technical staff oversee both the Biodegradability laboratory and the Coastal Systems Program. The facilities offer state-of-the-art polymer biodegradability testing and chemical analysis of surface and groundwater. Dr. Labrie is a participating member of the ASTM International Plastics subcommittee and is the principal or co-principal investigator on several current and pending research projects funded by the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, Office of Naval Research, Massachusetts municipal governments, and industry.
