Biography

Holly Oldroyd's research interests include environmental turbulent flows found in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere, focusing on water-land-atmosphere interactions in mountainous regions. Her research investigates surface exchanges of mass and energy to improve understanding of a wide range of environmental phenomena including evapotranspiration, microclimates, glacier and snowmelt dynamics, wildfire hazards, vegetation stress, and the transport of greenhouse gases and environmental pollutants. She employs field investigations, laboratory measurements, and numerical simulations to study fundamental turbulent transport dynamics, enhance model development, improve forecasting capabilities, and inform water resources and land management strategies.
