Alice M Carter

Alice M. Carter is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Utah State University. As an ecosystem statistician and river biogeochemist, she combines empirical field research with advanced statistical modeling to study carbon cycling in aquatic systems.

Research Focus

• Bayesian inference for watershed-scale analysis
• Process-guided machine learning in river energetics
• Time series modeling of biogeochemical fluxes
• Continental-scale aquatic ecosystem dynamics

Key Contributions

Her work addresses how local ecological controls interact with watershed-scale geomorphic constraints, particularly focusing on carbon cycling responses to environmental changes. Publications highlight innovations in process-guided deep learning approaches and hypoxia dynamics in river systems.

Academic Engagement

Actively mentors ecology graduate students in statistical methods and contributes to open-source research code through her GitHub repositories.
