Biography

Sarah Ariano is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Toronto. Her research program focuses on understanding the hydrological and biogeochemical processes that influence water quality and quantity dynamics in urban ecosystems. She integrates a wide range of environmental, geophysical, geospatial, and modeling-based methods to gain novel insights into hydrology and transport mechanisms in cities. Current projects in her lab apply a multi-scaled approach that includes regional studies of watershed hydrology and localized investigations in heavily urbanized catchments. Her studies aim to uncover the mobilization of water and nutrient transport, as well as to understand how urban ecosystems respond to environmental change. Ariano's research program is designed to provide effective strategies for managing urban water resources in light of ongoing challenges posed by urbanization and climate change.
