  • Interests:
    • My research interests involve nutrient cycling in the relatively pristine forested regions of Oregon; for example, discovering the chemical composition of dissolved organic nitrogen and carbon in stream water, and linking that to sources in the terrestrial environment.

    Family:

    My husband Doug is a math instructor at Chemeketa Community College in Salem.

    I have four children: Lisa, a registered nurse; Reuben, a computer programmer; Grace, a water treatment plant operator; and little Russell, a Yellowstone River guide and commercial fisherman.

    I have four grandchildren, Forrest, Houston, Tatum, and Stockton.


    Summer Activities:

    Doug and I have been building a cabin for the past three years in the Elkhorn Mountains of NE Oregon, on the historic Chloride Mine, a patented claim that has been in my family for 50 years.

    We are also restoring the Rasmussen family farm in McMinnville, Oregon, to a natural wetland. The farm is on a bend of the Yamhill River. The farm has several shallow ponds on the flood plain and plantings of native trees, shrubs, and grasses.
