I am a biogeochemist and landscape ecologist investigating the effects of global change on wetlands and the role of wetlands as solutions to environmental problems. I use a combination of empirical methods and spatial modeling to understand how landscapes are changing and what the consequences are for ecosystems and people.
I am currently a Cooley Postdoctoral Science Fellow at the Environmental Defense Fund. Previously I held a postdoctoral position in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department at the University of Waterloo in Ontario working in conjunction with Ducks Unlimited Canada.
I earned a PhD in 2021 from Duke University where I was jointly in the Bernhardt Lab and the Wright Lab. For updates from the field and the lab, follow me on Twitter @EmilyUry.
