Seminars
A simulated examination of stormwater sampling methods
To better understand the errors associated with stormwater sampling, U of M researchers built a numerical simulation of runoff sampling and examined accuracy for different types of idealized storms, pollutants, and samplers.
Co-design sustainable, resilient, and just nature-based stormwater solutions with communities
Dr. Cheng brings case studies in convergence of natural and social sciences and integrating research, teaching, and practices for building sustainable, resilient, and just urban water systems with diverse and vulnerable communities in Honolulu, Hawai’i, and Phoenix metro area in Arizona.
Equipping municipalities with climate change data to inform stormwater management
This work documents the challenges of combining the methods; and created tools and techniques that can be applied to future iterations of climate change projections.
Advancing green infrastructure practices through CLASIC life cycle cost and triple bottom line benefit analysis
This presentation will feature the Community enabled Lifecycle Analysis of Stormwater Infrastructure Costs (CLASIC) and Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Benefits tools.
Pollutant removal and maintenance evaluation of underground sand filters
This study evaluated the performance of six underground sand filters within the Twin Cities Metro Area.
