Celebrating faculty: Megan Rothenberger ’02
Learn more about Megan Rothenberger, professor of environmental science and studies and chair of programs in environmental science and studies. Research area: I identify as a conservation biologist and restoration ecologist, and both of these areas are pretty new. Conservation biologists study biodiversity and the impacts humans are having on biodiversity. I’m focusing most of my research on the restoration part. The goal is to find ways to reverse the effects of human activities on biodiversity and ecosystems—reverse the extinction crisis, and protect and conserve species and ecosystems. As a restoration ecologist, I try to fix degraded ecosystems. It’s a very interdisciplinary field, and it involves a lot of engineering, geology, chemistry, economics, and art. It’s not just biological. My research specifically focuses on restoration of aquatic ecosystems, and we study everything from coastal ecosystems to wetlands.
