Audrey H Sawyer

Audrey Hucks Sawyer is an American hydrogeologist and current Assistant Professor of Earth Science at Ohio State University[1]. Her work has focused on quantifying the role of groundwater - surface water interactions in transporting nutrients, contaminants, and heat in rivers and coastal settings.[2]

Early life & Education

Audrey Sawyer was born in Winter Park, Florida.

In 2004 Audrey Sawyer graduated Summa Cum Laude from Rice University with a Bachelor of Science in Earth Science and Environmental Engineering[3]. In 2007, Sawyer attended Pennsylvania State University, from which she received a Master of Science in Geoscience[4]. Consequently, in 2011 Sawyer obtained her Doctor of Philosophy in Geological Science at University of Texas at Austin[5]. Her thesis focused on the “Complexity in river-groundwater exchange due to permeability heterogeneity, in-stream flow obstacles, and river stage fluctuations."[6]

Career and Research

Audrey Sawyer is an American hydrogeologist who focuses on analyzing the surface - groundwater interactions in rivers and coastal settings in order to quantify the level of contaminants, nutrients, and heat being transported between these bodies of water. Between 2011 and 2012, Sawyer worked as a Post Doctoral Researcher at the University of Delaware[7]. Subsequently, Sawyer was hired as an Assistant Professor of Earth and Environmental sciences at University of Kentucky between 2012 until 2014. Following this, Sawyer became an Assistant Professor of Earth Science at Ohio State University from 2014 to present.[1]

Sawyer is member of the American Geophysical Union[8] and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[9] She is also an Officer at the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science Incorporated[10]. Sawyer has been the lead investigator of research done for the United States Geological Survey during 2014 and 2017. The focus of each of these researches have been "Use of time-lapse electrical resistivity to image solute transport in a karst conduit" (Start Date: 2014-03-01 End Date: 2015-02-28)[11] and "Quantifying direct groundwater discharge to Lake Erie and vulnerability to hidden nutrient loads" (Start Date: 2017-03-01 End Date: 2018-02-28)[12] respectively.

Publications

Sawyer has both led and collaborated in over 30 publications between 2009 and the present.[13]

Sawyer's work has been published by multiple journals, such as Water Resources Research, Geophysical Research Letters, Journal of Geophysical Research: Bio-geosciences section, and Oceans section.[14] In addition to this, she has been published by Journal of Hydrology, GroundWater Journal [15], as well as the scientific journals supported by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[16]

Sawyer's most cited work are as follows:

  • Sawyer, A.H. ; C.H. David, and J.S. Famiglietti "Continental patterns of submarine groundwater discharge reveal coastal vulnerabilities"[17] (2016)
  • Deon Knights; Audrey H. Sawyer; Rebecca T. Barnes; Cole T. Musial; Samuel Bray "Tidal controls on riverbed denitrification along a tidal freshwater zone"[18] (2016)
  • Sawyer, A.H., H.A. Michael, and A.W. Schroth "From soil to sea: the role of groundwater in coastal critical zone processes"[19] (2016)
  • Robert E. Danczak; Audrey H. Sawyer; Kenneth H. Williams; James C. Stegen; Chad Hobson; Michael J. Wilkins "Seasonal hyporheic dynamics control coupled microbiology and geochemistry in Colorado River sediments"[20] (2016)
  • Pryshlak, T.T.*, A.H. Sawyer, S.H. Stonedahl, and M.R. Soltanian "Multiscale hyporheic exchange through strongly heterogeneous sediments"[21] (2015)
  • Audrey H Sawyer, M Bayani Cardenas, Jim Buttles "Hyporheic exchange due to channel‐spanning logs"[22] (2011) (84 citations)[13]
  • Audrey Hucks Sawyer; M Bayani Cardenas "Hyporheic flow and residence time distributions in heterogeneous cross‐bedded sediment"[23] (2009) (123 citations)[13]
  • Audrey Hucks Sawyer; M Bayani Cardenas; Ashleigh Bomar; Meredith Mackey "Impact of dam operations on hyporheic exchange in the riparian zone of a regulated river"[24] (2009) (118 citations)[13]

One of the most noted research led by Sawyer focused on analyzing the content of dissolved contaminants in groundwater discharge around the coastline of the United States. The analysis displayed the hotspots for contaminant discharge into marine waters, which allowed researchers to map out the cities and areas at risk. Results showed that more than one fifth of the coastline waters are susceptible to contamination coming from groundwater discharge. Consequences of this are coastal dead zones, toxic algae bloom, contamination of underground freshwater aquifers. In an interview with UsaToday, Sawyer noted, in relation to the results of this research, “We hope others will use our analysis to better plan strategies for coastal land development and groundwater management that help preserve water quality.”[25] “Right now, we’ve created a map of American coastlines that highlights some previously known as well as unknown areas of vulnerability along the U.S. coastline, but we hope to be able to do it for the world shortly, as data become available,” she added[25].


Sawyer's most cited research focused on "Hyporheic flow and residence time distributions in heterogeneous cross‐bedded sediment"

Another notable research led by Sawyer is "Spectral analysis of continuous redox data reveals geochemical dynamics near the stream-aquifer interface", with which she was granted the NSF CAREER award.

Awards and Honors

Dr Sawyer received the Kohout Early Career Award in 2016 from the Geological Society of America’s Hydrogeology Division. "The award will be presented to a distinguished early career scientist for outstanding achievement in contributing to the hydrogeologic profession through original research and service, and for the demonstrated potential for continued excellence throughout their career."[31]

Furthermore, she was awarded the NSF CAREER Award in 2018. This award was given to her for her research done on “"Spectral analysis of continuous redox data reveals geochemical dynamics near the stream-aquifer interface"[26], which play a crucial role in the transport of nutrients and contaminants between soils, ground and surface water. The grant awarded will also help establish a hydrogeology learning lab at Mirror Lake, in the middle Ohio’s State campus.[32]

Other interests &/or Personal life

Audrey Sawyer is married to Derek Sawyer. They have three daughters.
