The document is the comprehensive academic curriculum vitae of Dr. Karen Haley Johannesson, Professor of Geochemistry at the University of Massachusetts Boston. It details her education (Ph.D. in Hydrology/Hydrogeology, M.S., B.S.), a progressive career spanning faculty and research positions at institutions such as Tulane University, University of Texas at Arlington, Old Dominion University, and the University of Nevada. Current roles include professorships, directorship of the Environmental Analytical Facility, and co‑chief scientist for an NSF International Ocean Drilling Project. The CV lists numerous honors (e.g., Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, Clair C. Patterson Medal) and a prolific research portfolio focused on rare earth element (REE) geochemistry, trace element speciation, arsenic, tungsten, and submarine groundwater discharge, supported by extensive funding from NSF, NOAA, ACS, and other agencies. It enumerates over 130 peer‑reviewed journal articles, book chapters, edited volumes, and several high‑impact invited talks. Editorial leadership includes Co‑Editor‑in‑Chief of Chemical Geology and associate editorships for major geochemistry journals. The document also outlines teaching experience across undergraduate and graduate courses, mentorship of Ph.D. and M.S. students, extensive professional service (society fellowships, conference organization, committee memberships), and a broad network of national and international collaborators. Analytical expertise spans ICP‑MS, INAA, XRF, ion chromatography, and voltammetry.
