MELISSA M. ROHDE

I have 20 years of experience conducting applied research in the fields of environmental science and water resource management.  My skills include research design, grant proposal writing, collecting empirical data, managing datasets, data analysis using statistics, writing publications to peer-review journals, and synthesizing data into data visualizations for broad audiences. Previously, I worked as a Groundwater Scientist for The Nature Conservancy of California where I applied my expertise in biology, hydrology, and water policy to advance sustainable management.  I obtained a BSc degree in Biology and Oceanography at the University of British Columbia, a MSc in Water Science, Policy and Management at Oxford University, a MSc in Environmental Engineering and Science from Stanford University, and a PhD in Environmental Sciences at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
