Kristina M Gutchess

Kristina is a Physical Scientist with the New York Water Science Center. Her work broadly centers on understanding processes that impact water quality in surface water and groundwater. The primary focus of Kristina’s investigations to date has been to characterize sources of contamination in surface water and groundwater and to elucidate controls on the fate and transport of solutes in watersheds. She combines an understanding of principles controlling the transport, fate, and storage of inorganic solutes with computational and statistical methods to differentiate natural from anthropogenic sources of contamination and drivers of change in freshwater systems.
