Dr. Braswell’s work advances understanding and management of coastal watersheds through collaborative tools and educational products for stakeholders and resource managers.
  She earned her PhD in Environmental Science from Duke University (2017), an MS in Biological Sciences from the University of Alabama (2012), and a BA in Environmental Studies from Washington University in St. Louis (2006).
