Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Gardner is an ecosystem ecologist and assistant professor with a decade of experience translating field and lab research into insights on water quality, biogeochemistry, hydrology, and sustainability. He blends rigorous data analysis and scientific writing with hands-on experience from NSF postdoctoral work to faculty roles at Pittsburgh and UNC Chapel Hill, mentoring students and leading interdisciplinary projects. Trained at Duke (PhD), Maryland (MS) and Missouri (BS), he has a track record of moving from applied lab technician roles to funded research and teaching. Based in Durham, NC, he combines ecosystem-scale thinking with practical skills in experimental design and community-engaged conservation—an educator who still values boots-on-the-ground fieldwork alongside computational synthesis.
