Jacqueline Gerson studies how anthropogenic activities have altered the cycling of nutrients and contaminants through watersheds. As an Assistant Professor in BEE, she focuses on the fate, transport, and transformation of these elements and compounds within and between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. She is particularly interested in linked biogeochemical cycles within complex socioenvironmental systems. She also evaluates the implications of contaminants for the people and animals that live in these landscapes.
