Julia Perdrial
Associate Professor
Director of Geosciences
Department of Geography & Geosciences
College of Arts and Sciences
BIO
Julia Perdrial's formal training is in geology and mineralogy. For her master's at the University of Heidelberg (Germany, 2004), she investigated how water and minerals change each other. Later, for her PhD at the University Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg (France, 2008), she added life in the form of bacteria to the mix. Her post-doctoral research at the University of Arizona led her to investigate all this at the catchment scale through the lens of carbon dynamics. Since joining the University of Vermont as assistant professor in 2013, she continues to investigate how these dynamics are impacted by environmental change at local and regional scales.
Area(s) of expertise
Environmental geochemistry, Low temperature (bio)-geochemical processes, Carbon dynamics, Dissolved organic, matter chemistry, Hydrology and biochemistry, Mineral alteration and weathering, Clay mineralogy
