Tammy Newcomer-Johnson, Ph.D., systems ecologist, US EPA
Newcomer-Johnson is a systems ecologist with the US EPA at the National Exposure Research Lab in
Cincinnati, Ohio. Her research interests are in using biogeochemistry and EPA tools to understand
human dominated watersheds in order to maximize ecosystem services and reduce stressors like
excess nutrients and storm water pollution and benefit communities. Newcomer-Johnson received a
Bachelor of Science in environmental science from UMBC and a doctorate in marine estuarine
environmental science from University of Maryland, College Park. Her graduate work was supported
by fellowships from Sea Grant, US EPA, and the National Science Foundation. Newcomer-Johnson is passionate about using
