Tiffany THOMAS


Principal Scientist

Dr. Thomas has 27 years of global in-depth experience in environmental forensic chemistry, including extensive focus on contaminant fate and transport; data and statistical analysis; remedial design; and novel chemical analyses, including isotopic, spectroscopic, and bench-scale analytical methods. Her project experience has addressed a wide-range of contaminant chemistries, including (but not limited to) petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, metallic and semi-metallic species, chemical weapons, munitions, pesticides, herbicides, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Clients have included chemical manufacturing, oil and gas, Department of Defense, commercial and municipal landfills, mines and associated metal processing facilities, water and wastewater treatment plants, and a range of other municipal and commercial facilities. She was also appointed to the governing board of the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries in 2024.

Dr. Thomas' applied chemical knowledge includes the application and interpretation of various geochemical, statistical, and fate-and-transport models. She regularly participates in project planning, sampling, and remedial design, providing project teams with a holistic view of the geochemical controls on contaminant migration and toxicity. She has worked at project sites both nationwide and internationally, interfacing and negotiating with federal, state, and municipal regulatory agencies across multiple districts. She has served as a consulting and testifying expert on matters related to various contaminant chemistries, including lead, arsenic, PCBs, and PFAS.

Dr. Tiffany Thomas cumule 27 années d'expertise approfondie en chimie environnementale judiciaire internationale. Elle est spécialisée dans le devenir et le transport des contaminants, l'analyse statistique et de données, la conception de solutions de dépollution, ainsi que les méthodes de chimie analytique novatrices, notamment isotopiques et spectroscopiques. Son expérience couvre un vaste éventail de contaminants chimiques, entre autres, les hydrocarbures, solvants chlorés, les métaux lourds et les métalloïdes, armes chimiques, munitions, pesticides, herbicides, biphényles polychlorés (BPC), dioxines et PFAS. Sa clientèle comprend des entreprises de l'industrie chimique et pétrochimique, le ministère de la Défense Américain, des exploitants de sites d'enfouissement commerciaux et municipaux, des complexes miniers et métallurgiques, des stations de traitement des eaux et d'épuration, ainsi que diverses autres installations municipales et commerciales. En 2024, elle a été nommée au conseil d'administration du Département de géologie et des industries minières de l'Oregon.

          Dr. Thomas has 27 years of global in-depth experience in environmental forensic chemistry, including extensive focus on contaminant fate and transport; data and statistical analysis; remedial design; and novel chemical analyses, including isotopic, spectroscopic, and bench-scale analytical methods. Her project experience has addressed a wide-range of contaminant chemistries, including (but not limited to) petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, metallic and semi-metallic species, chemical weapons, munitions, pesticides, herbicides, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Clients have included chemical manufacturing, oil and gas, Department of Defense, commercial and municipal landfills, mines and associated metal processing facilities, water and wastewater treatment plants, and a range of other municipal and commercial facilities.  She was also appointed to the governing board of the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries in 2024.\r\n
          \r\n
          Dr. Thomas' applied chemical knowledge includes the application and interpretation of various geochemical, statistical, and fate-and-transport models. She regularly participates in project planning, sampling, and remedial design, providing project teams with a holistic view of the geochemical controls on contaminant migration and toxicity. She has worked at project sites both nationwide and internationally, interfacing and negotiating with federal, state, and municipal regulatory agencies across multiple districts.  She has served as a consulting and testifying expert on matters related to various contaminant chemistries, including lead, arsenic, PCBs, and PFAS.\r\n
          \r\n
          Dr. Tiffany Thomas cumule 27 années d'expertise approfondie en chimie environnementale judiciaire internationale. Elle est spécialisée dans le devenir et le transport des contaminants, l'analyse statistique et de données, la conception de solutions de dépollution, ainsi que les méthodes de chimie analytique novatrices, notamment isotopiques et spectroscopiques.  Son expérience couvre un vaste éventail de contaminants chimiques, entre autres, les hydrocarbures, solvants chlorés, les métaux lourds et les métalloïdes, armes chimiques, munitions, pesticides, herbicides, biphényles polychlorés (BPC), dioxines et PFAS. Sa clientèle comprend des entreprises de l'industrie chimique et pétrochimique, le ministère de la Défense Américain, des exploitants de sites d'enfouissement commerciaux et municipaux, des complexes miniers et métallurgiques, des stations de traitement des eaux et d'épuration,  ainsi que diverses autres installations municipales et commerciales. En 2024, elle a été nommée au conseil d'administration du Département de géologie et des industries minières  de l'Oregon.

        PFAS contamination is emerging as a major source of environnemental disputes worlwide, giving rise not only to civil and commercial claims but also to increasing criminal exposure.\r\n
        \r\n
        This panel will explore how PFAS-related pollution translates into litigation and arbitration, adressing scientific uncertainity, liability allocation and damages assessement.\r\n
        \r\n
        Drawing on legal, scientific and dispute resolution perspectives, the speakers will discuss current trends, enforcement risks and what practitioners should expect next as PFAS claims continue to rise.
