Erik Krogh is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Vancouver Island University (VIU) and holds an adjunct position as an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Victoria. His research and teaching focus on environmental, organic, and analytical chemistry, including aqueous photochemistry, real-time analysis of contaminants, and climate change outreach. He co-directs the Applied Environmental Research Laboratories (AERL), which specializes in advanced analytical tools like mass spectrometry.
Educational Background: B.Sc. (1986) from the University of Toronto, Ph.D. (1990) from the University of Victoria under Peter Wan, followed by NSERC postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Hawaii (Bob Liu) and Oregon State University (Peter Freeman). He has been a faculty member since 1993.
Research Interests: The fate of organic molecules in natural environments, real-time chemical analysis using mass spectrometry, air/water quality monitoring, and climate change communication. His work emphasizes applying analytical chemistry to environmental challenges, including disinfection by-products and geospatial mapping of pollutants.
Teaching: Courses include CHEM 311 (Environmental Chemical Analysis), CHEM 301/302 (Aqueous/Atmospheric Environmental Chemistry), and CHEM 331 (Environmental Organic Chemistry). He actively integrates research into teaching through directed research projects (CHEM 490) and student involvement in AERL initiatives.
Labs & Teams: The AERL lab focuses on innovative methods for trace contaminant analysis. Research groups from 2009–2017 included students like Chris Gill, Larissa Richards, and Dana Short, among others. Positions are available for undergraduates and graduate students in AERL.
