Carrol’s technical areas of expertise encompass both air quality and noise. Specific skills include the preparation of the air quality elements of environmental assessments which comprise air emissions inventories and atmospheric dispersion modeling, air quality monitoring, emission factor development, air quality mitigation plans as well as agency and public coordination. Her work in noise is also significant and involves monitoring, modeling, reduction and mitigation measures, and agency/community coordination.

Over the past 39 years, Carrol has successfully managed and provided technical analyses for a wide assortment of transportation-related improvement projects and actions - many of them considered “first-of-their-kinds”. Nationally, these projects involved some of the biggest U.S. airports including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta (ATL), Chicago O’Hare (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX), Denver (DEN), Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall International (BWI) and San Diego (SAN). Internationally, they include Senegal (OOV), Africa; Hong Kong (HHK), China; and Dubai (MDM), United Arab Emirates.

She was also the initial author of the Florida Department of Transportation’s guidance for the assessment of air quality impacts associated with transportation improvement projects.
