Carly Maas

Carly Maas is a master's student in the Department of Geology at the University of Maryland, College Park. She works with Dr. Sujay Kaushal of the University of Maryland, College Park and Dr. Paul Mayer from the Environmental Protection Agency on the impacts of winter deicing agents and other sources of salt on the water quality in the Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC metropolitan areas. She seeks to quantify the different concentrations of salts and the processes associated with the mobilization of nutrients and metals.

Carly received her B.S. in geology from Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina where she studied the uses of accidental urban wetlands in mitigating the effect of road salt on an urban headwater stream. She enjoys being outside whether running around a lake, hiking up a mountain, or biking on greenway trails.
