Jacob D. Hosen studies how rivers, streams, and watersheds process carbon and other chemical elements, looking at topics like dissolved organic matter (dissolved carbon-containing compounds from soil and plants), stream metabolism (rates of biological production and respiration in waterways), and how land use, water flow, and temperature shape these processes. This work combines field measurements, sensor data, and large-scale watershed comparisons to understand the environmental chemistry and biology of freshwater systems. Prospective students interested in aquatic biogeochemistry, hydrology, and human impacts on waterways would find this research area relevant.
