Emily Elliott, a professor of geology and environmental science in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, has been elected a fellow of the Ecological Society of America (ESA), the organization announced April 30.

ESA, the world’s largest community of professional ecologists, awards the recognition to members who make “outstanding contributions” in applying or advancing ecological knowledge across academia, government and the nonprofit and private sectors.  

Elliott, who also serves as the director of the Pittsburgh Collaboratory for Water Research, Education and Outreach, which she co-founded, is one of nine academicians and scientists to receive the honor. Her research has advanced the use of stable isotopes to unravel nutrient dynamics in ecosystems; she also directs the Pitt Isotope Tracers Lab.

Elliott, along with the other awardees, will be formally recognized at an awards ceremony at ESA’s annual meeting this August in Long Beach, California.
