Katie Goff is an Environmental Scientist for Eocene Environmental Group, a Des Moines based environmental consulting firm. She earned her bachelor's (2012) and master’s (2017) degrees from the University of Iowa, during which she studied with Dr. Mark Reagan (undergrad) and Dr. Art Bettis (graduate). During her undergraduate years she researched ultramafic melt inclusion geochemistry in relation to arc magmatism. Her focus as a graduate student took a more surficial turn and she studied the geochemistry of loess-derived soil profiles and their weathering signatures. Her focus since graduating has been on utilizing her Geosciences background for a variety of environmental investigations including wetland mitigations, stream restorations, construction compliance, industrial environmental compliance and geoarchaeology. Katie recently completed the requirements to become a registered geologist with the state of Missouri. Katie and her partner have a six-month-old daughter, in addition to two stepdaughters. Together they enjoy spending time outside and tending their garden.
