KARL FROSCHEISER

Mr. Karl Froscheiser is attending George Mason University in their Environmental Science and Policy master’s program. He graduated in May of 2018 from Coastal Carolina University with a Bachelor of Science in Marine Science and a minor in mathematics. During his undergraduate degree, Mr. Froscheiser focused his time mainly on academics and personal research with the intent to prepare for graduate school. The personal research focused on the concentration of microplastics oysters inside the organism Crassostrea virginica. This research sparked Mr. Froscheiser’s interest in being a part of the policy side of science to prevent environmental problems arising from preventable issues. This led to his career goal of being a part of environmental policy ranging from local to global levels.  

At Amata Green, Mr. Froscheiser will be working on matters of carbon sequestration in agriculture, carbon markets, water conservation, ocean conservation, as well as matters related to land & soil health.   You can find Karl on LinkedIn at:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/karl-froscheiser-a03568124/
