Early life and education
In 2002, Novick earned her Bachelor's degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Duke University. When Novick graduated, she was one of 2 students who graduated with departmental distinction in the department of civil and environmental engineering.

Also, In 2002, Novick was presented with the william Brewster Snow Award, which is given to one or several students who have not only shown academic success, but also a strong passion for environmental engineering, and the Pas Award, which is awarded to one or several students with the most impressive research project. Novick was very involved with research during her time as an undergraduate. She was a recipient of the Pas award due to her research in the Duke Forest on "Assessing the Effects of Elevated Atmospheric CO2 and LAI Perturbations on Southeastern Grassland Water Vapor and CO2 Fluxes."

In pursuit to obtain her Ph.D, Novick went back to Duke university and graduated in 2010. While studying for her Ph.D, novick continued research in the Duke Forest to study forest carbon and water cycling.

Career and Research
After graduating from Duke, Novick has been working as an environmental scientist. She started working with the United States department of Agriculture (USDA) Forrest Services in 2010. For about two years, she worked and conducted research at the Coweeta Hydrological Laboratory in North Carolina, studying co2 and evapotranspiration in the ecosystem.

Since 2012, Novick has been at the University of Indiana, Bloomington. She is currently an associate professor, and works at the O’neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. https://oneill.indiana.edu/faculty-research/directory/profiles/faculty/full-time/novick-kimberly.html While in Indiana, novick gets to work with the Morgan-Monroe State Forest Flux tower, which is similar to Coweeta. Both of these research sites are apart of U.S. Department of Energy's AmeriFlux network, which measures CO2, water, and energy changes in the ecosystems. Currently, Novick runs the Morgan-Monroe site where she continues to research the interaction between the land and the atmosphere. Recently, her site has been also interested in studying the effects of a drought on the exchange of carbon in the ecosystem. They discovered that certain vegetation changes, or do not change, how they interact with carbon, during a drought.
