Dr. Carroll specializes in environmental research with particular focus on how land use changes affect aquatic ecosystems, hydrology, and geomorphological processes. Her work integrates bioassessment techniques for water quality evaluation and explores the intersection of cultural traditions, economics, and scientific understanding through the lens of eco-justice pedagogy. She is dedicated to developing inquiry-based investigation skills in her students, emphasizing hands-on learning approaches in environmental science education.

She teaches Environmental Biology and Plants and Civilization courses, bringing her research expertise into the classroom to help students understand the complex relationships between human activities and natural systems. Her commitment to eco-justice pedagogy suggests an approach that connects environmental science with social equity considerations.
