Fate and Transport of Fine Particles

 

 

Surface Transport of Colloids Through Dense Vegetation

Objective

This project mainly focuses on exploring the removal mechanisms of abiotic colloids and pathogenic microorganisms in surface runoff. Multi-scale experimentation and modeling investigations are applied in this study to identify and qualify these mechanisms to improve current understanding of colloid/pathogen transport in surface runoff.
