Rosemary M Fanelli, Ph.D.
Rosemary Fanelli is a Hydrologist with the South Atlantic Water Science Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Rosemary is a Hydrologist with the USGS. Her research focuses on assessing the impacts of land use and management on freshwater aquatic ecosystems. Current projects include characterizing spatial and temporal patterns in water quality stressors, explaining trends in water quality, and assessing the effects of management and restoration activities on stream ecosystems.
