Kate A. Brauman is an American scientist who uses an interdisciplinary tool set to examine the interactions between land use change and water resources. Brauman is the lead scientist for the Global Water Initiative at University of Minnesota's Institute on the Environment.

Early life and education

Brauman, daughter of two chemists (

ecosystem services in 2010.[6] Brauman's interdisciplinary dissertation, under the direction of Gretchen Daily and David Freyberg, brought together elements of hydrology, ecohydrology, and economics to understand the impacts of water extraction on the Big Island of Hawai'i.[7]

Career and research

Currently, Brauman is the Lead Scientist of the Global Water Assessment under the

ecosystem services of landscapes runs through much of her work - whether it be provisioning drinking water, irrigation water,[11] carbon sequestration, or food security.[12][13] Her research, at the intersection of society and science, provides critical information to resource managers (e.g. agricultural producers) that can improve water use efficiency.[11][14]

Brauman also works collaboratively with multiple international groups examining ecosystem services globally. She is part of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), a group advocating for recognition of the value of nature to human populations.[15]

From 2020 to 2021, Brauman was the Water and Climate Resilience Fellow at the US Department of Defense through a Science Technology Policy Fellowship with AAAS.[16]

Notable publications

Brauman's work, published in a variety of peer-reviewed journals (e.g. Nature, Science, Proceedings of the National Academy Sciences, Environmental Research Letters, Water Resources Research) is highly cited.[17] A few of her most highly cited works are listed below:

  • Solutions for a cultivated planet, Nature, 2011[13]
  • The Nature and Value of Ecosystem Services: an overview highlights hydrologic services, Annual Review of Environment and Resources, 2007[10]
  • Improvements in rop water productivity increase water sustainability and food security - a global analysis, Environmental Research Letters, 2013[11]

Awards and recognition

  • 2012, Planet Under Pressure, Best Early Career Researcher Poster. Water Wise: Are we getting enough crop per drop?
  • 2014, Future Earth Fellow, Future Earth Young Scientists Networking Conference on Ecosystems and Human Well being in the green economy[18]
  • 2015, Policy Fellow, Center for the Study of Politics and Government, University of Minnesota[19]
  • 2018-2019 Fellow for the Leshner Leadership Institute for Public Engagement with Science, run by the American Association for the Advancement of Science's (AAAS) Center for Public Engagement with Science and Technology.[20]
