Isabelle Cozzarelli is a Research Hydrologist (Scientist Emerita) with the USGS Geology, Energy & Minerals (GEM) Science Center in Reston, VA.
Dr. Isabelle Cozzarelli retired as a Senior Research Scientist and currently serves as a Scientist Emerita affiliated with the Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center and the Reston Biogeochemical Processes in Groundwater Laboratory. Isabelle uses a combined field and laboratory experimental approach to investigate biogeochemical processes in shallow groundwater and surface water environments that affect water availability. She uses a multi-disciplinary and multi-scale approach to study processes in environments stressed by anthropogenic inputs of biodegradable carbon, such as crude oil, landfill leachate, and oil and gas wastes.
Releases of oil and gas wastewaters can have complex effects on stream-water quality and downstream organisms, due to sediment-water interactions and groundwater/surface water exchange.

Cumulative impacts of oil and gas production on watersheds in North Dakota between January 2008 and June 2015. Watershed volumes were calculated by combining reported values of oil, brine, and unidentified liquid waste accidentally released during drilling operations.

Research Hydrologist Isabelle Cozzarelli holds a sediment core collected from a contaminated aquifer at the Bemidji National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site. The sediment from the core is analyzed and used to measure iron, arsenic, and trace metals in the solid phase.
