Steven EISENREICH
Dr. Steven Eisenreich is an environmental organic chemist with more than 40 years of experience in the field of water science. He has held teaching and research positions in major universities in the US and Europe, where he supervised numerous PhD and MS students in aquatic chemistry, environmental organic chemistry, and water resources. He has also served in leadership roles in the European Commission’s science and knowledge service, the Joint Research Centre, where he led the EC’s science activities with the EU Member States in the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the building and implementation of the EU’s premier chemicals policy REACH and the European Chemicals Agency.
Dr. Eisenreich has won several career awards in ‘environmental chemistry’ given by the American Chemical Society and the Society of Toxicology and Chemistry. He is passionate about providing quality and targeted science advice to policy makers and society on environmental issues of greatest importance to humanity and in educating young people to do the same.
Dr. Eisenreich has a PhD in Water Chemistry/Environmental Engineering Sciences and has served as a Professor at the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis for 20 years, Director of the Grey Freshwater Institute (UMN) for 5 years, and Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Dept of Environmental Sciences at Rutgers University for 5 years. He joined the European Commission’s Joint Research Center in 2001, where he served as Head of the Inland and Marine Waters Unit for 4 years and Head of the European Chemicals Bureau, the forerunner of the European Chemicals Agency, for 4 years.
Dr. Eisenreich has been awarded three of the highest international awards given to environmental scientists, including the Fellow of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC), the SETAC Founders Award from Society for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, and the American Chemical Society Award for Creative Advances in Environmental Science and Technology.
Dr. Eisenreich has also served as a Scientific Expert attached to the European Commission and WFD CIS Groundwater Group on ‘Watch List’ and Chemical Thresholds, DG ENV, European Commission, and has served as an Expert supporting WFD implementation as part of P2P Network, Malta. He has dedicated significant effort in recent years to the implementation of wastewater reuse for agricultural irrigation and aquifer recharge in a challenge to identify sustainable water sources in a climate-changed world.
Overall, Dr. Eisenreich's experience in water science and his dedication to providing quality science advice to policy makers and society make him ideally suited to teach young people about the science and policy linkages of modern pressures including climate change, chemicals, eutrophication of surface waters, and more.
