*Subject:* Faculty Candidate Seminar- Dr. Emily Elliott "Exploring
AIR-WATER-ECOSYSTEM interactions of reactive nitrogen using stable isotope
geochemistry"

The School of Natural Sciences

Presents

 *Exploring AIR-WATER-ECOSYSTEM interactions of reactive nitrogen using
stable isotope geochemistry*

*Emily M. Elliott, Ph. D*

Department of Geology & Environmental Science

University of Pittsburgh

*DETAILS:*

Monday – April 17, 2017

10:30a.m. – 11:30a.m.

COB 1, 322 Willow Room

*ABSTRACT*

Nitrogen (N) distributions in the Earth’s atmospheric, terrestrial and
aquatic systems are tightly coupled with human activities.  Although N is
an essential building block of life, in excess nitrogen is a major factor
in the degradation of air and water quality with important implications for
ecosystem and human health.  This presentation will demonstrate the utility
of using stable isotope N biogeochemistry to address key challenges at the
heart of the water-ecosystem-society nexus.  I will describe several
examples of our work that examine the coupled relationships between human
activities on N distributions and dynamics in urban, forested, and
agricultural systems.  Together, this body of work ultimately aims to
determine how best to manage inputs of N to protect ecosystem and human
health, water and air quality.

*BIOGRAPHY*

Dr. Emily M. Elliott is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geology
and Environmental Science at the University of Pittsburgh.  Her research
program examines the tight coupling between human activities and reactive
nitrogen distributions in atmosphere, terrestrial and aquatic systems at
multiple spatial scales using stable isotope geochemistry.  In 2013 she was
awarded an NSF CAREER grant for her research examining nitrogen dynamics of
urban hydrological systems.  She directs operations of the *Regional Stable
Isotope Laboratory for Earth and Environmental Science Research.  *Dr.
Elliott also led an NSF-funded effort to engage unrepresented teens in
Earth science issues and to improve public literacy regarding the nexus of
energy-environment-society issues.  Prior to joining the University of
Pittsburgh in 2007, she was a Postdoctoral Researcher with the U.S.
Geological Survey, Water Resources Division.  She earned her M.S. and Ph.D.
in the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering at Johns
Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD and her B.A. in Environmental Science
at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA.  She is past Chair of
the National Atmospheric Deposition Program and a *Science Ambassador* for
the National Academies of Science and Engineering Science Ambassador
Program.
