Anna Michalak
Anna M. Michalak is Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences at the University of Michigan.
Her research interests focus on characterizing complexity and quantifying uncertainty in environmental systems with the goal of improving our understanding of these systems and our ability to forecast their variability. Her current research interests focus on water quality monitoring and contaminant source identification, use of remote sensing data for earth system characterization, and atmospheric greenhouse gas emission and sequestration estimation.
Michalak is also interested in the environmental policy, economic and legal impact and applicability of environmental research.
In December 2008, Michalak received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).
Anna Michalak is a MMPEI Faculty Fellow.
