Dr. Michelle Newcomer is an Early-Career Research Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Michelle received her PhD in Civil & Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley in 2016. Her current research interests focus on topics in hydrology, groundwater, climate, biogeochemistry, and her research is leading the way in emerging interdisciplinary topics such as how fires impact surface-water groundwater interactions and how river corridors influence algal blooms development. Michelle is currently leading a large scale long-term watershed approach to understanding watershed changes after fires in a west coast US watershed impacted by multiple and compounding fires each year.
