Henriette Jager

Adjunct Associate Professor

I am currently transitioning to a new position as Adjunct Associate professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department at the University of Tennessee after retiring from the Environmental Sciences Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in July, 2024. At ORNL, my research sought to improve decisions about renewable energy alternatives by quantifying ecosystem services and trade-offs among energy, water quality, and biodiversity. In future, my research will focus on understanding climate change and energy impacts on freshwater biodiversity, especially in the Southeastern US.

Research Interest

Theoretical Ecology, Conservation Biology
