How humans meet their water needs

People who live without stable water resources face ever increasing risk due to climate change and other environmental factors. Asher Rosinger, assistant professor of biobehavioral health and Ann Atherton Hertzler Early Career Professor in Global Health, works to understand how humans meet their water needs. Rosinger, who was awarded the 2022 Michael A. Little Early Career Award from the Human Biology Association, seeks to understand how water-acquisition behavior relates to health, hydration, disease, water insecurity, and more.
