Karen C. Rice
Research Assistant Professor
My overall research interest is in watershed biogeochemical processes and identifying the hydrologic drivers of those processes. More specifically, my research focuses on the status and trends of stream flow and stream-water quality in response to stressors, including air pollution, climatic variability, and anthropogenic land-use influences.
