Talia Mathews is a Senior Research Analyst specializing in historical, scientific, technical, and regulatory research for environmental projects. Drawing on her background in environmental science and library and information science, she develops research strategies, evaluates evidence, and prepares analyses that inform contaminated site investigations, liability allocation, litigation, and technical decision making. Talia’s research draws on scientific and technical literature as well as historical, corporate, and regulatory records. She investigates historical operations, chemical and product use, ownership and corporate succession, waste handling, and potential sources of contamination. She also conducts focused literature reviews to address scientific and technical questions. Across these assignments, she locates difficult-to-find information, evaluates the reliability and relevance of sources, and synthesizes findings into research memoranda, chronologies, and technical summaries that connect conclusions to supporting evidence and identify important information gaps. Talia also develops secure, searchable project repositories and information management systems that help teams organize records, retrieve information, and trace findings to their underlying sources.
