Daniel Coughlin received his Masters in Wildlife Science from North Carolina State University in 1998. He is an Assoc. Certified Wildlife Biologist by The Wildlife Society, and a member of the Xi Sigma Pi Forestry Honor Society. He started working at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) in February 1998, initially doing research on the remediation of acidic mine drainage using constructed wetlands and phytoremediation of heavy metals by native aquatic plants. He is currently a Research Coordinator in SREL’s Radiation Ecology department, conducting research in ecotoxicology and ecological risk-analysis.
