Genevieve Metson

Dr. Genevieve Metson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Environment at Western University. Her research focuses on nutrient management in socio-ecological systems, particularly phosphorus and nitrogen cycling across urban and agricultural landscapes. She employs mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) to address challenges in sustainable resource management.

Key research areas include urban agriculture impacts, wastewater nutrient recovery, and circular economy strategies. She co-leads the Sustainable Resources Management (SRM) Lab and collaborates internationally on global phosphorus sustainability initiatives. Teaching responsibilities include courses on water systems, urban geography, and research design.

Her work emphasizes interdisciplinary solutions for sustainable transformations, with recent focus on optimizing biogas logistics, urban garden nutrient dynamics, and dietary impacts on resource systems. Over 60 peer-reviewed publications demonstrate her contributions to environmental science and policy-making.
