Lija Treibergs
Water Quality Research Manager
2015 M.S. Oceanography, University of Connecticut
Lija joined the AWI in the Spring of 2020 as a research technician and currently serves as the research manager for AWI’s water quality monitoring programs, contracts and research grants. She is interested in the biogeochemistry of aquatic and marine systems and particularly enjoys working with long term environmental data sets to understand how human activities at regional and gloabal scales can alter biogeochemical cycles and impact water quality. Prior to joining the AWI she worked as a lab manager for an aquatic geochemistry group at the University of Michigan researching carbon cycling in tundra watersheds of northern Alaska, in a nitrogen biogeochemistry lab at the University of Connecticut, and with a consortium of research groups investigating long term ecological change in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica. Lija enjoys exploring the abundant beauty of the Adirondacks by foot, ski, mountain bike, and boat and is happy to finally live in a place with real winter. She lives in Saranac Lake with her cat, Denali.
