SUMMARY:Dr. Ron Tjeerdema - The Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill
DESCRIPTION:Ron Tjeerdema\nAssociate Dean\, Environmental Sciences\nDistinguished Professor\, Environmental Toxicology \nRon Tjeerdema completed B.S. degrees in both natural resource planning and interpretation\, and wildlife management from Humboldt State University in 1980\, and an M.A. in pharmacology from UC Santa Barbara in 1983. He then came to UC Davis\, where he completed his Ph.D. in pharmacology and toxicology\, with an emphasis in environmental toxicology\, in 1987. He has been certified in General Toxicology by the American Board of Toxicology since 1994. \nRon then moved to UC Santa Cruz\, where he served as a professor of environmental toxicology in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. In 1999\, he was invited to return to UC Davis and is now a distinguished professor in the Department of Environmental Toxicology; for nearly a dozen years he also served as department chair. In 2014\, Ron was named Associate Dean for Environmental Sciences in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences\, and also currently holds the Donald G. Crosby Endowed Chair in Environmental Chemistry. \nWith a focus on marine and freshwater systems\, Ron’s areas of expertise range from chemical fate in the environment\, sensitive life stage bioassays and biochemical mechanisms of toxicity\, and he has worked extensively with pesticides\, petroleum hydrocarbons\, dispersants and marine algal toxins. In over 30 years in the field of environmental toxicology\, he has pioneered the new field of environmental metabolomics via the use of nuclear magnetic resonance\, and his research on oil spills and dispersants resulted in the development of widely-used standardized methods for toxicity assessment. Ron is currently a member of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on the Evaluation of the Use of Chemical Dispersants in Oil Spill Response. He has also served on a number of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration panels advising on the response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and its aftermath and has provided testimony to Congressional and legislative committees on dispersant use and toxicology. Ron currently serves as co-editor-in-chief of the flagship journal Aquatic Toxicology and is on the editorial boards of Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology\, Marine Pollution Bulletin and Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology.
