Amy D. Rosemond is Distinguished Research Professor in the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia. She views and studies aquatic ecosystems – their health and the benefits they provide to communities – holistically. She is passionate about finding ways that add to the vitality of both natural and human systems by defining the key elements that sustain biodiversity and provide quality water resources for people. She teaches and mentors graduate and undergraduate students in defining and promoting equitable and resilient freshwater systems. Amy and her colleagues have conducted large-scale field experiments that demonstrate how nutrient pollution and climate warming affect stream ecosystem organisms and functions. Amy received B.S. and M.A. degrees from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and her Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University. She has served as president of the Society for Freshwater Science and is a Fellow of the Ecological Society of America.
