Eliza Czolowski joined PSE Healthy Energy in 2015 in support of the Environment Program. Czolowski spent over three years in environmental consulting contributing towards projects in energy, manufacturing, education, and government. She has provided geographic information systems (GIS) and environmental services for multiple clients in the oil and gas industry within the Appalachian Basin, including managing GIS mapping and databases for decommissioning over 200 wells for a major multinational oil and gas company.

Czolowski has previously worked with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) performing a flood pattern assessment to analyze changing macroinvertebrate communities. She has also worked with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) to determine causation behind elevated contaminant concentrations in Lake Erie at Presque Isle, Pennsylvania. She conducted research in Costa Rica to determine the effect that ecotourism was having on the presence of migratory bird species. Czolowski earned an MPS degree in Environmental Science from SUNY ESF with a focus area in Coupled Natural and Human Systems, where her studies focused around geographic modeling and environmental health. She earned a BS in Environmental Science from Allegheny College with a concentration in Geographic Information Science.
