Jannell E. Clampitt obtained her M.S. and Ph.D. of civil and environmental engineering at Auburn University, and her B.S. in Biological Systems Engineering from Iowa State University in 2021.
Research Interests
Her research interest revolves around improving water quality.
Biography
Her master’s degree focused on Stormwater management on construction sites, which involved evaluating hydraulic impoundment capabilities of wattles and developing standards for using flocculants for the Alabama DOT. Her doctoral research focused on advancing erosion and sediment control practices across both inland and coastal environments. Her work included a nationwide synthesis of stormwater BMPs to identify research gaps and standardize practice terminology, as well as an experimental study that evaluated thin layer placement on living shorelines dominated by black needlerush vegetation to improve coastal restoration practices.

Outside of Ole Miss, Jannell has served as a teaching assistant and guest lecturer in multiple undergraduate and graduate-level courses, some of which include Introduction to Engineering, Introduction to Agricultural and Biological Systems, Construction Engineering, and Erosion and Sediment Control Technologies in Construction. She has also helped organize and lead hands-on training workshops and outreach programs for students and professionals across the Southeast.

Publications
Suspended sediment in stormwater runoff can have negative environmental impacts. Construction activities are a major contributor to sediment-laden runoff caused by the constant disturbance and destabilization of soil. Wattles are one of the most commonly used materials across a wide range of erosion and sediment control applications.
