Melissa Reidy

Melissa Reidy is a PhD candidate in riparian ecosystem science at Umeå University in Sweden. She’s been asking how riparian processes interact with dynamic hydrology to affect the chemistry of northern headwater streams. Her previous work has been in the temperate zones of Australia, where she’s focused on hydrological impacts of drought and fire on wetlands. As the incoming ECS representative of the Hydrological Sciences division, she’s excited to keep encouraging collaboration between disciplines and to work on making scientific research as accessible to as many as possible.
