Editorial Introduction to Guest Editorial In this edition, Dr Elizabeth Kujawinski of Barnard College presents a review on Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS). This new technique is quite promising to the ®eld of environmental forensics because it is capable of providing highly accurate mass spectral data at the molecular level. Dr Kujawinski became involved in FTICR-MS while she was a post-doctoral researcher at The Ohio State University working with Drs Patrick Hatcher and Michael Freitas in the Department of Chemistry. She received S.B. in chemistry from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1994 and a PhD in chemical oceanography from the MIT/ Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in Oceanography in 2000. Her dissertation focused on

the role of protozoan grazers on the cycling of polychlorinated biphenyls in aquatic systems and was performed under the co-advisement of Drs John Farrington and James Mo€ett at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Dr Kujawinski is currently an assistant professor at Barnard College where she is teaching courses in general chemistry and ecotoxicology. Her research interests include the role of protozoa in the cycling of organic matter and contaminants in coastal systems, the structural characterization of biologically-produced organic matter, and the cycles of contaminants in aquatic environments.
