Emily Deeba Foppe Email and Phone Number

I aim to use my environmental science background to investigate environmental risks in urbanized areas; in graduate school, I characterized over 300 flood responses in urban and suburban streams in the city of Saint Louis. This allowed me to tie physical flash flooding risks to groundwater inputs to streams during flooding, as understanding groundwater inputs assists in the conceptualization of pollutant dilution and ecosystem health in urbanized environments. I enjoy engaging communities in science-related topics, and I hope to bring more interest and awareness on the natural resources people in my community rely. I have written short-essay materials for a local ecology center and given a presentation for Missouri Stream Team in order to begin cultivating outreach skills.
