Personal profile
Ann Marcelle Lewandowski is a Senior Research and Extension Coordinator at the Water Resources Center. In this position, she brings together teams from multiple disciplines and sectors to address water resource management concerns in agricultural communities and landscapes. Marcelle’s approach is watershed-focused, and aimed at facilitating cross-sector collaboration.
Marcelle coordinates the Minnesota Office for Soil Health, manages and co-teaches the Watershed Specialist Training program for water resource professionals, coordinates a multi-state training project for the Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework (ACPF) to support watershed-based conservation. Recently, she coordinated the Future of Drinking Water project for the Minnesota Department of Health to examine risk management of our drinking water supply. She also co-led development of “Fields to Streams” (a rural stream handbook), coordinated the On-Farm Research Network Feasibility Study, and a training program for Conservation Applications of LiDAR Data.
Marcelle earned an M.A. in Geography from the University of Minnesota, and a B.S. in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She worked for seven years for the Soil Quality Institute of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Then, as a research assistant for the University of Minnesota Department of Soil, Water, and Climate, Lewandowski worked on the Minnesota Phosphorus Index and a study of groundwater nitrate contamination costs. She joined the WRC in February of 2008.
