Eve-Lyn Hinckley

Eve-Lyn Hinckley’s research focuses on studying the elements that underlie all life on Earth, with an emphasis on how they are changed by human activities and how those changes feed back to affect human welfare. Dr. Hinckley earned her Ph.D. in Geological and Environmental Sciences from Stanford University, and B.A. in Environmental Studies from Middlebury College. Her research on modern changes to the global sulfur (S) cycle is supported by multiple funding agencies, including the U.S. National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the National Geographic Society. Dr. Hinckley has developed methods using stable and radioisotopes to quantify rates of S transformations, as well as to follow the fates of applied S in agricultural systems and the consequences of excess S in the environment; the Johnston lab is one of her collaborators in in this research. She has been recognized at CU Boulder as an ASSETT Teaching Fellow and Research and Innovation Office Faculty Fellow in Leadership. Outside of research and teaching, Dr. Hinckley enjoys all types of movement – weight-lifting, dance, and martial arts – and hanging out with her two kiddos.
