Environmental Engineering Graduate Seminar

Jessica Kozarek, Assistant Professor, Civil, Environmental, and Geospatial Engineering, Michigan Tech

Abstract:

Many aquatic environmental challenges involve complex interactions between moving water, sediment, biota, water quality, and anthropogenic activities and infrastructure. In this talk, I will present a sample of current and past research that investigates these interactions in streams, rivers, and lakes. I will also discuss unique experimental spaces and field techniques used to illuminate these interactions to help with predictions and mitigations of sediment pollution and aquatic invasive species spread, and design of resilient and sustainable infrastructure.
