CEMML Directors Director, Senior Research Scientist Dr. Warren has been involved in the management of natural resources on military training areas since 1985. He serves as Director of the Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands and holds a joint appointment with the Department of Forest, Rangeland and Watershed Stewardship within the Warner College of Natural Resources at Colorado State University. Dr. Warren’s research emphasis is the development of innovative tools and strategies for meeting the demands of military training and testing while sustaining ecosystem integrity. Research topics include cost-effective land condition monitoring, erosion and sediment modeling and control, land reclamation and revegetation, the ecological roles of biological soil crusts, the role of disturbance in maintaining healthy ecosystems, and disturbance-dependent threatened and endangered species. For his support of Army training, Dr. Warren has been awarded the Department of the Army Achievement Medal for Civilian Service. Associate Director (GIS/RS, Environmental Planning
and NEPA) Mr. Bagley is an Associate Director who manages a variety of Army and DoD contracts associated with the Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) program and Research and Development programs. He manages the Geographic Information Systems Support Team at CEMML, which includes the Western Regional Support Center, providing GIS support, data collection and development, analysis and map production to the Army Environmental Center and installations. He also manages the Planning and Assessment team, which develop Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans (INRMP), Environmental Assessments (EA) and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) for DoD customers. Mr. Bagley performs applied research on wind and water erosion, training impacts on vegetation recovery, and GIS / remote sensing applications for natural resources inventory and monitoring of military lands. Mr. Bagley is advisor and project leader for CEMML graduate students from the Range Science and Forest Sciences departments and in the Military Lands Management degree program. Associate Director ( Field Operations) Since 1988 Mr. Brozka has been involved in the management of natural resources on military lands. He began this association with the Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratory. There he contributed to development of the Land Condition Trend Analysis program, and was instrumental in fielding the program at the first Army installations. He has been Associate Director for Field Operations at the Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands at Colorado State University since 1994. In this capacity, Mr. Brozka oversees CEMML's work in land management at over 50 installations across the United States and Germany. Projects include all components of the Integrated Training Area Management program, environmental monitoring, planning level surveys for floral and fauna, and endangered species surveys. Associate Director (Graduate and Professional Studies) Dr. Bill Doe has eleven years of experience at CEMML as an Associate Director and Principal Investigator. He is an alumnus of CSU, having completed his Ph.D. in water resources management (civil engineering) in 1992. Prior to his arrival at CEMML he served on active duty for 22 years as an Army Corps of Engineers officer, to include an appointment as Academy Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies at the U.S. Military Academy (West Point). Dr. Doe’s applied research on military lands includes the areas of watershed management, sustainability assessment and ecoregional analysis. His research and outreach collaborations include the Army Research Office (ARO), the Army Environmental Policy Institute (AEPI), the Army Engineer Research & Development Center (ERDC) and the Rocky Mountain Research Station, U.S. Forest Service (USFS). Additionally, he has supported a wide range of projects and programs at CEMML in support of the Army’s Sustainable Range Program (SRP) and Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) Program, both at the major command and installation levels. Dr. Doe holds joint faculty appointments at CSU in the Department of Forest, Range and Watershed Stewardship (FRWS) and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE). He is developing graduate level distance learning courses on military lands topics at CSU in support of emerging graduate programs in the Warner College of Natural Resources. Associate Director ( Business Operations & Administration) Mr. Mertens is the Associate Director who manages the business operations of CEMML. He is responsible for administration of budgets, tracking and reporting expenditures, compliance with state and federal regulations, and providing logistical support for employees.

He holds a B.S. in Accounting from Colorado State University. Assistant Director ( Compliance and Cleanup Programs) Dr. Prieksat has over 10 years of experience managing
environmental cleanup and compliance projects. In addition, he has
been involved in range cleanup operations and environmental management
of military ranges. Dr. Prieksat’s work at CEMML focuses on
specific program support areas to include: environmental cleanup
(IRP, DERP, CERCLA or Superfund), military munitions response (MMRP),
compliance cleanup (CC), pollution prevention (P2), environmental
management systems (EMS), noise management (IENMP/ICUZ), hazardous
waste/materials management (RCRA), solid waste management, drinking
water (SDWA), storage tank management, toxic substances (TSCA –
lead, asbestos, PCBs, radon), wastewater and storm water management
(CWA, NPDES, SWP3), and watershed management. Several notable projects
include management of white phosphorus cleanup at Eagle River Flats
Impact Area for US Army Garrison, Alaska; consulting research at
operational mine sites in the southwestern United States; investigation
of uranium mill tailing remedial action (UMTRA) sites for the Department
of Energy; and applied research on alternative landfill covers.
Assistant Director ( Human Resources) Ms. Thompson is the Assistant Director and manages the human resources operations of CEMML. She is responsible for the management of recruiting and hiring employees, employee relations, and resolution of personnel issues. Ms. Thompson advises, trains and serves as a resource to employees regarding policies and procedures, appraisals, position searches, and compliance with state and federal regulations regarding employment.
