Education
Johnston earned a Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources from Cornell University. She then went on to earn a Master of Science in Land Resources and Soil Science, both degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She completed her Master's thesis "Wetland mapping using existing information sources" in 1977. Johnston received her PhD in Soil Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1982; her PhD dissertation was titled "Effects of a seasonally flooded freshwater wetland on water quality from an agricultural watershed".
