Laura E. Condon is a professor at the University of Arizona who is known for her research on water sustainabilty, climate change, and hydrology. She was elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union in 2025.

Education and career

Condon received a B.S. from Columbia University in 2008. She earned an M.S. (2012) and a Ph.D. (2015) from the Colorado School of Mines. Following her Ph.D., she worked at Syracuse University from 2016 until 2018, at which point she moved to the University of Arizona.[1] As of 2026, she is a professor of hydrology and atmospheric sciences.[2]

Research

Condon's research uses a combination of modeling, observations, and statistical tools. Her early research developed hydrological models[3] particularly in the field of groundwater research.[4] More recently, she has examined the interaction between the movement of water and groundwater,[5][6][7] and advanced research into estimating the water table depth in the United States.[8]

Awards and honors

In 2025 Condon received the James B. Macelwane Medal and was elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union.[1]
