An assistant professor of geography in the College of Liberal Arts and an affiliate with the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory in the College of Science and Engineering, Emily Fairfax is an ecohydrologist, which means she studies how plants and animals affect water and vice versa. “Beavers are the main focus of my research,” she said. “They have such an outsized influence on the waterways they inhabit. I don't think I'll ever run out of research questions with them.”
