        Dr. Anna Braswell

        Assistant Professor, Coastal Watersheds & Ecosystems 

        Florida Sea Grant Extension Specialist, University of Florida

        Dr. Anna E. Braswell is a coastal ecosystem ecologist whose research explores the formation, persistence, and degradation of coastal ecosystems—especially in the intricate context of terrestrial, marine, and urban interfaces. She employs an interdisciplinary approach that blends geospatial analysis with field data to investigate phenomena such as disturbance impacts on marsh ecosystems and coastal ecosystem vulnerability to sea-level rise. 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).
