I am an expert in water quality and infrastructure. I focus on sharing knowledge and love to learn.
Hello! I am a water quality scientist & engineer who does research, teaching, and outreach on water infrastructure, resource recovery, and equitable access to quality water services. I am learning how to navigate this platform, and happy to connect with others.
Another PhD student, Avery Carlson, successfully defended his dissertation yesterday, which means another themed cake. Did wonderful work that can help scale MABR treatment technologies for energy efficient nutrient management to reduce N and P loads from cities to water bodies. Photo descriptions for visually impaired: cake showing anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic zones from his pilot plant; and Avery holding a piece of cake that says Dr. #waterquality #WasteWaterTreatment
Not great news from my homestate about the dioxane plume that's been slowly spreading under part of Ann Arbor, Michigan for decades: Dioxane has turned up in a residential groundwater well in Ann Arbor Township more than 1 mile north of the plume's estimated boundary, raising new concerns about insufficient groundwater testing.

Black and Hispanic Americans nationwide became more likely to avoid drinking tap water following the Flint Water Crisis.

Even the New-York Times is talking about #urine!
Meet the peecyclers!
A shortage of fertilizers, worsened by the war in Ukraine, has growers desperate. It just so happens that human urine has #nutrients that crop need.

How Floating Wetlands Are Helping to Clean Up Urban Waters
As cities around the world look to rid their waterways of remaining pollution, researchers are installing artificial islands brimming with grasses and sedges. The islands’ surfaces attract wildlife, while the underwater plant roots absorb contaminants and support aquatic life.

I created a class called Water and Sanitation: Design and Practice with inspiration from Ethiopian faculty colleagues because so much of what is needed in water treatment for majority of the world is not in our conventional textbooks, across Global South and North. Almost to the end of the term. For tomorrow's topic, we start Ecosanitation and will focus on #peecycling and circular economy - for those new to this: it is about recovering N and P elements from wastes in concentrated forms by separating at the point of excretion, and using technology to process to safe NPK fertilizers. Last topic after this will be science communication & environmental justice, a topic in great demand by students. Happy to connect with anyone else creating similar content in their courses.
