Laodong Guo

Dr. Laodong Guo’s major research focus is on aquatic biogeochemistry, with an emphasis on the role of natural organic matter and nano-sized colloids in governing the fate, transport and bioavailability of chemical species, including trace metals, radionuclides, engineered nanoparticles, and legacy and emerging contaminants. He received his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Oceanography in 1995 from Texas A&M University (TAMU), College Station. After working as a postdoc and assistant research scientist at TAMUG, Dr. Guo joined University of Alaska-Fairbanks (UAF) in 2000 as a research professor in the International Arctic Research Center (IARC) and then University of Southern Mississippi (USM) in 2005 as a faculty member (tenured in 2006) in the Department of Marine Science. Dr. Guo has been a professor in the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee since 2012.

Dr. Guo serves as an editor of Journal of Oceanography (Springer), an associate editor of Frontiers in Environmental Science - Biogeochemical Dynamics (Frontiers), and an editorial board member of Scientific Reports (Nature), Water (MDPI), and Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (MDPI).
