Andrew S. Mehring

Andrew S. Mehring is an Assistant Professor at the University of Louisville, with a focus on environmental science and ecology. His work integrates biogeochemical processes, urban environmental management, and ecosystem services. He studies how human activities, such as urbanization and stormwater management, impact natural systems, particularly through greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient cycling, and wetland health.

His research spans aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, including stream litter dynamics, biofilter performance, and the role of insects like leaf-cutting ants in tropical carbon cycles. He also explores citizen science and institutional barriers in urban environmental governance. Mehring’s publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to address climate change, sustainable development, and environmental policy challenges in semi-arid and urbanized landscapes.
