Audrey H. Sawyer

Audrey H. Sawyer is a Professor at The Ohio State University's School of Earth Sciences, where she leads the Computational Hydrogeology Research Group. Her work explores how surface water-groundwater exchange mediates geologic and ecologic processes, with applications to ecosystem health, contaminant transport, and climate impacts on water resources.

Research interests include

• River-groundwater exchange
• Coastal surface water-groundwater interactions
• Coupled fluid/heat flow and reactive transport
• Numerical modeling of hydrologic systems
• Climate change effects on groundwater recharge

Current and former students (e.g., Jacob Clyne, Hannah Field, Kira Harris) have received prestigious awards including GSA Graduate Student Research Grants and NSF Fellowships. She also holds a Visiting Scientist appointment at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya.
