Kimberly A. Novick is an environmental scientist and an Associate professor at Indiana University, Bloomington.[1] Her research mostly includes the study of land-atmosphere interactions.[2] She received the Thomas Hilker Early Career Award in Biogeosciences from American Geophysical Union (AGU) in 2019.

Early life and education

In 2002, Novick earned her bachelor's degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Duke University.[3] When Novick graduated, she was one of two students who graduated with departmental distinction in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.[4] In 2002, Novick was also presented with the William Brewster Snow Award, which is given to students who have not only shown academic success, but also a strong passion for environmental engineering.[5] During the same year, Novick also received the Eric I. Pas Award, which is awarded to students with the most impressive research project. Her research included working in the Duke Forest on "Assessing the Effects of Elevated Atmospheric CO2 and LAI Perturbations on Southeastern Grassland Water Vapor and CO2 Fluxes."[6]

In pursuit to obtain her Ph.D., Novick went back to Duke University and graduated in 2010[7] and continued her research at the Duke Forest to study forest carbon and water cycling.[8]

Career and research

After graduating from Duke, Novick has been working as an environmental scientist. She first worked with the United States department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Services. Novick conducted research at the Coweeta Hydrological Laboratory in North Carolina, where she studied CO2 and evapotranspiration in the ecosystem.[9] [10]

Since 2012, Novick has been at the Indiana University, Bloomington. She is currently an associate professor, and works at the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Novick now works with the Morgan-Monroe State Forest Flux Tower as well as the tower at Coweeta, both sites are part of the U.S. Department of Energy's AmeriFlux network, which measures CO2, water, and energy changes in the ecosystems.[11] Currently, Novick runs the Morgan-Monroe site where she continues to research the interaction between the land and the atmosphere. Recently, her site has been also interested in studying the effects of a drought on the exchange of carbon in the ecosystem. They discovered that certain vegetation will change how they interact with carbon during a drought.

Awards and honors

Publications

Some of Novick's most cited publications include:

Public engagement

Novick advises students and young scientists to grow a big community, and she believes for people to have strong collaborative network. She works with all her students individually to make sure they stay focused and continue their studying.

Personal life

Novick is married and has a son. With her husband she works on creating live music.
