Jenna received her B.S. in Environmental Science from University of Oregon in 2013 and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Water Resources Engineering at University of Colorado. During her undergraduate career, she was a member of the Environmental Leadership Program Stream Stewardship team, and completed an honors thesis on the effects of climate change on soil nitrogen storage in Pacific Northwest grasslands.

My primary research interest is in quantifying the hydrologic impacts of both climate change and land cover disturbance processes across multiple scales. The scientific community’s understanding of climate change continues to evolve, and so we need a flexible framework—models, observations, and communication—to evolve together with this understanding. The tools I use to address these challenges involve integrating observations with modeling and statistics, to attribute causes and improve process understanding.
