DR. GREG W. PATTON is a Senior Research Scientist with the Environmental Technology Division of Battelle, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Dr. Patton has been with the laboratory since 1989. He manages the water sampling tasks for the Hanford Site Surface Environmental Surveillance Project and previously managed air sampling. His experience includes the collection and analysis of trace contaminants (chemical and radionuclides) in the enviroment with special interest in surface water, spring, river, and air sampling. He also has extensive experience in the development of monitoring networks, long range transport and fate of persistent pollutants, and environmental monitoring in freshwater ecosystems.

As manager of the water sampling, Dr. Patton oversees environmental monitoring of water, sediments, and Columbia riverbank springs for radionuclides and chemical contaminants. Sampling techniques included grab, composite, continuous filter/resin and mid-depth river transect methods. Constituents of concern include volatile organics, anions, metals (including chromium (VI) and trace-level mercury) acid volatile sulfide/simultaneously extracted metals, water quality parameters, total alpha, beta and gamma emitting radionuclides, tritium, strontium technetium, uranium, and plutonium.

Dr. Patton is also an adjunct lecturer at Washington State University - Tri Cities.
