Megan Greige

Megan is a master’s student in ENR and is also pursuing a minor in City and Regional Planning in the Knowlton School. Her research interests are in the biogeochemical roles of streams and the impact of land use. She received her B.S. in Environmental Science from Texas A&M University—Corpus Christi. Her undergraduate research examined changes in dissolved organic matter and nutrients after Hurricane Harvey in estuarine surface and groundwater. For her master’s thesis, Megan is studying the impact of urban land use on dissolved organic matter composition and the contribution of plastics in three tributaries of the Olentangy River in Columbus, OH. When she isn’t doing research, Megan enjoys rollerblading, coffee, fantasy & sci-fi shows, and of course, being outdoors.
