Biography
Research in my lab focuses on watershed hydrology and geomorphology in human-altered landscapes. Current projects focus on plastic pollution and anthropogenic litter, stormwater management, urban stream geomorphology, and ecological restoration. Much of my research is field-based, but my group also makes use of laboratory experiments, stable isotope analyses, geographic information systems (GIS), and hydrologic modeling. For more information, please see my website.
After 11 years of excellent service in the Department of Earth Sciences, Professor Anne Jefferson will be leaving Kent State University in early 2023 to pursue an opportunity elsewhere.
