GENERAL
Biography
Professor Sandra Rocío Villamizar Amaya is interested in studying the impact of land use and water management practices on river ecosystems and in understanding the different responses of streams and rivers to natural and anthropogenic elements. During her graduate school period, she looked at whole-stream metabolism (WSM) used as an indicator of river health. This approach allowed her to identify interesting temporal and spatial distributions of WSM estimates in response to natural and anthropogenic drivers (see for example, Villamizar et al., 2013). Related to this, she worked with Dr. Thomas C. Harmon and Dr. Henry Pai on using high resolution synoptic field studies to identify interactions between groundwater and surface water and the implications in terms of contributions of non-point source pollution from agroindustrial activities to the river (see Pai et al., 2015).
