Biography

Tonya DelSontro’s research focuses on advancing the understanding of how human activities and climate change alter aquatic carbon cycles and greenhouse gas budgets. Her work integrates field-based system analyses with experimental laboratory research to define and predict anthropogenic impacts on aquatic greenhouse dynamics across local, regional, and global scales. Her research interests include greenhouse gas dynamics in inland waters, quantification of methane ebullition, and the upscaling of aquatic greenhouse gas carbon emissions. She is particularly interested in the anthropogenic impacts on climatic feedbacks in inland waters, as well as the implications of hydropower reservoirs on the global carbon cycle. DelSontro also researches lake sediment greenhouse gas dynamics and carbon dioxide capture and storage as it relates to climate change and geosciences, addressing increasingly complex water challenges and the protection of drinking water affected by climate change.
