Biography

Gianna St. Julien joined the Tulane Environmental Law Clinic in 2020 after receiving a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science with a concentration in Soil and Water Quality and Geology from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. While at ULL she held a position in Geosciences studying the ecology and hydrology of ephemeral streams throughout Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana. As a native New Orleanian, her work with the Environmental Law Clinic is centered around community engagement in Louisiana by providing environmental health resources and information to community members and assist local environmental justice organizations in tracking the permitting of new and existing industrial projects throughout the state.  In addition to community engagement, she also creates GIS visualizations and analyses of environmental health, industrial pollution, demographic, socioeconomic, and infrastructure data in an effort to contribute to Louisiana’s available environmental research.
