Cleo Lisa Davie-Martin

Dr. Cleo Davie-Martin works as a scientist at NILU, posted in Tromsø, Norway.

She has a PhD in Environmental and Analytical Chemistry from the University of Otago, which focused on volatilization processes affecting the local- and global-scale distribution of semi-volatile organic contaminants, including pesticides and brominated flame retardants.

Her subsequent work has focused on the bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in contaminated soils, as well as biogenic emissions of volatile organic compounds from Arctic tundra/permafrost and marine ecosystems.

Cleo has a strong background in analytical method development and quantification across a range of contaminant classes and environmental matrices. She has worked extensively with thermal desorption, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry techniques.

At NILU, Cleo is involved with several environmental monitoring projects, as well as digitalization and database-related development and reporting.
