Amy Daum Rosemond studies the effects of land-use change and climate change on the health and vitality of streams and rivers. She is the UGA Foundation Professor in Ecology and Distinguished Research Professor at the University of Georgia. She was elected as a Fellow of the Ecological Society of America “for creative and influential experimental research on the food web, microbial, and biogeochemical dynamics of aquatic ecosystems” in 2018 and received UGA’s Creative Research Medal in Natural Sciences and Engineering that same year. She served as President of the Society for Freshwater Science (SFS, 2019-2020) and is the lead Principal Investigator/Project Director of the Emerge Program, which is conducted in conjunction with SFS to broaden participation and leadership in the field of freshwater science. Rosemond teaches freshwater and ecosystems courses at UGA and has served as the major advisor to more than 20 graduate students and postdocs. With her collaborators and students, she has over 100 peer-reviewed publications on a broad range of topics that examine the effects and mechanisms of global change stressors on streams and rivers, with funding from the National Science Foundation, U.S. EPA, U.S. Department of Defense, Georgia Water Resources Institute, and other agencies. Her research program is motivated by society’s need for healthy, resilient freshwater ecosystems, equitable access to their goods and services, and the long-term sustainability of aquatic life. Her current studies focus on how elevated temperature and nutrient pollution affect stream functions.
