Urban Hydrology and Contaminants
The research group takes advantage of our urban location to study the hydrology of urban watersheds, to investigate biogeochemical processes in urban created wetlands and to research mechanisms and patterns of urban contamination. 
Below are some selected examples of published research from the group related to urban hydrology and contaminants:
