Dr. Lisa Molofsky is a Senior Geochemist with GSI Environmental Inc. specializing in the practice area of forensic geochemistry. She focuses on the application of chemical and isotopic data to evaluate the origin of gases and sources of salinity in groundwater. In particular, Dr. Molofsky has provided consulting expertise in the investigation and geochemical characterization of sources of methane and carbon-dioxide in the shallow subsurface, as well as associated potential risks and response actions, publishing several manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals on the topic. She also specializes the chemical characterization of produced water.

During her thirteen years at GSI Environmental Inc., she has worked on several research and development projects focused on understanding sources of variability affecting dissolved gas concentrations, improving sampling methodologies for dissolved gases and VOCs, and interpreting data from large public and private databases. Her PhD research focused on isotopic approaches to determining the origin of formation fluids and gases in hydrocarbon-bearing basins. Prior to joining GSI, Dr. Molofsky was a National Science Foundation IGERT fellow at the University of Arizona, with a research focus on the application of isotope geochemistry to determining the provenance of metals.
