2011 Analyst of the Year Honorable Mention

Kelly Cline

City of Westminster

Kelly Cline is a Chemist for the City of Westminster.  He has worked for the City for 9.5 years.  He was nominated for the Analyst of the Year by his peers at the City of Arvada.  The RMWQAA Board felt that Kelly deserved special recognition.  So, it was decided that an award for honorable mention would be presented to Kelly. 

Kelly has taken on the task of learning to use a Flow Cam instrument to count and speciate phytoplankton and zooplankton.  Kelly has been gracious enough to carry out flow cam analysis on samples from various entities in the metro area, providing access to valuable information from an expensive instrument that would not otherwise be available without Kelly's generosity.  He has a wealth of knowledge on zooplankton, phytoplankton, and macroinvertebrates.

He is always enthusiastic about his findings and his ability to describe plankton interactions makes a sometimes mundane subject fascinating.

Congratulations on a job well done!
