Biography

Sherry Schiff's research focuses on the cycling of key elements within lakes, streams, rivers, forests, and agricultural watersheds. Her work emphasizes understanding these cycles, which is critical for properly addressing environmental concerns. Ultimately, her research aims to inform decision-makers about current and emerging environmental problems and the potential solutions to these issues. She specializes in the impacts of climate change on agriculture and aquatic ecosystems, utilizing novel tracers and stable isotopes to study artificial sweeteners and their effects on surface and groundwater. Additionally, she investigates indicators of climate change in high arctic and subarctic systems and the threats to aquatic ecosystems, including contamination and remediation of water, soil, and air.
