Senior🎓
Top SchoolNorman Richardson is a Principal Scientist with over a decade of experience leading ecological risk assessments and sediment impact studies for federal agencies (including USACE, EPA, and the Navy), states, and industrial clients. He has designed, implemented, and managed more than 150 multidisciplinary assessments that integrate biological, toxicity, and chemical data to inform risk-based remedial decisions. Skilled in ecological modeling, multivariate statistics, probability and sensitivity analyses, and DQO-based sampling design, he brings rigorous quantitative methods to complex environmental problems. Norman pairs technical depth with program-level project management developed over long tenures at Battelle and Louis Berger. Based in Newton, Massachusetts, he translates dense environmental datasets into actionable risk management strategies that meet regulatory and stakeholder needs. An educator by training (M.S. in Science Education) who began with a biology degree from Dartmouth, he often frames technical solutions with clear explanatory narratives for nontechnical audiences.
