Rate My Professor Rene Price

Her research centers on hydrogeology, ecohydrology, and low-temperature aqueous geochemistry in carbonate terrains. Utilizing chemical tracers including stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen and major ions, she identifies water sources, groundwater flow paths, and groundwater-surface water interactions, particularly water-rock interactions from seawater intrusion in coastal carbonate aquifers. Studies span south Florida including the Everglades, Yucatan Mexico, and Mallorca Spain. As principal investigator or co-principal investigator on grants from the National Science Foundation such as the CREST Center for Aquatic Chemistry and the Environment and Florida Coastal Everglades LTER program, South Florida Water Management District projects, and National Park Service initiatives, Price has advanced coastal hydrogeology and ecosystem responses to sea level rise. She directs the Price Lab for Hydrogeology and has over 120 peer-reviewed publications with more than 3,100 citations, including "Calcium carbonate formation below the groundwater table in response to tree transpiration" (2025) and "Stable isotope tempestology of tropical cyclones across the North Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Ocean basins" (2024).
