Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a mixture of millions of organic molecules and gives water its color. DOM is mobilized by water and plays an integral role in connecting aquatic systems to the landscapes they drain.  Collectively, DOM molecules tell stories about water history and catchment health. 

Sasha Wagner was interviewed by Jared Wesley Singer of the Water Justice Laboratory for the Hudson Mohawk Magazine, a news and public affairs show produced daily in the studios of WOOC 105.3 FM at The Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy, NY. Here, Sasha discusses the importance and intersectionality of DOM across terrestrial, aquatic, and human-engineered systems.
