Jennifer Margaret Padgett Cooper

Ms. Padgett s experience includes investigating the long-term fate and degradation of slowly degradable organic waste materials in landfills. In a project to quantify carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission control, she measured the maximum extent of wood biodegradability under bioreactor landfill conditions, both at laboratory and field scale. She has also been involved in the planning and design of several projects related to solid waste landfills. Her experience includes: preparation of construction bid documents, including technical specifications and cost estimates, performing engineering analyses for landfill liner and closure system designs, landfill gas control systems and, stormwater management systems.

master's at Solid Waste Management from North Carolina State University (2009). Has experience in Sanitary Engineering, focusing on Ambient Sanitation
