[1] Her Ph.D. advisor was Stuart Fisher, a professor emeritus at the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University.
[3] Other research of hers includes studying the effects of dam removal on ecosystems and predicting how best to manage the consequences.
[4] She has also researched how different factors such as hydrology, biochemistry, invasive species, and human land-use alter lakes and rivers.
[5] Emily Stanley has also studied riparian zones, which are the areas between rivers and land, and how human impacts can change these ecosystems.
