Kristin Mikkelson is a Ph.D. candidate graduating May 2014 in the Hydrological Sciences and Engineering program at the Colorado School of Mines. Her research focuses on investigating the hydrological and biogeochemical changes after a bark beetle infestation. Her recent research has been published in Nature Climate Change and has been featured internationally. Research interests include the interrelationships between water and nutrient cycles with possible implications for contaminant transport. Current research investigates this concept in the context of the land cover change from the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic in the Rocky Mountain West.
