Nia Bartolucci

Nia Bartolucci (she/her/hers) earned her BA from Mount Holyoke College and her Ph.D. in marine biogeochemistry from Boston University in 2025. She currently is a Physical Scientist at the Environmental Protection Agency based in Narragansett, RI. Growing up on a small island in the Pacific Northwest she has always had a special affinity for the ocean and coastal systems. She feels incredibly lucky that she now gets to spend her life attempting to better understand these systems. Her research focuses on determining how climate change and other anthropogenic impacts are affecting the biogeochemistry and ecosystem function of coastal ecosystems. She hopes to center her career around using science to increase the resilience of coastal ecosystems and communities while also working on nature-based climate solutions to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Outside of doing science she loves to play soccer, rock climb, bake, and spend time with her friends.
