Mary Jade (MJ) Farruggia, PhD

Aquatic Global Change Ecologist


About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder in the Mountain Limnology Lab. My current work focuses on synthesizing long term mountain lake ecosystem datasets to detect and quantify drivers of change in these iconic landscapes. I received my PhD in ecology at UC Davis in the Ecosystem Ecology and Limnology Lab, where I studied the climate sensitivity of mountain lake and pond ecosystems.      

I am an advocate and mentor for youth and those underrepresented in science, and believe strongly in the power of hands-on, nature-based education and outreach to improve inclusivity in the natural sciences.
