Erica Bickford is an Environment and Resources PhD student in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. Her research interests center on an interdisciplinary approach to environment and climate issues relating to transportation: including air quality modeling, environmental policy and mitigation strategies. Her current research project is an analysis of air quality impacts from freight modal shifts—truck to rail—in the upper Midwestern U.S. and uses the Federal Highway Administration’s Freight Analysis Framework (FAF2.2) data, GIS and MOBILE6 to build a freight emissions inventory, SMOKE to process the emissions and CMAQ to model air quality. This project is funded through the National Center for Freight Infrastructure Research and Education (CFIRE) and Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).
Erica earned her M.S. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences in the Nelson Institute’s Center for Climatic Research (CCR) at the University of Wisconsin in 2008. Her master’s research investigated land-atmosphere coupling and drought persistence in global circulation models. She received a B.S. in Ecology and Environmental Sciences from the University of Maine in 2006.
