Mark River, a Nicholas School Ph.D. student
and Wetland Center member, has been awarded a $10,000 student grant from
WRRI, the Water Resources Research Institute of the UNC System. The award
will support River's research into the transport and fate of
particle-bound nitrogen and phosphorus in North Carolina Piedmont stormflow. A combination of turbidity sensors, flow-imaging
particle size analysis, and scanning electron microscopy will be used along
with chemical analysis of stormflow samples in
order to quantify the relationship between particles and nutrients in
high-flow events. DUWC Director Curtis Richardson is River's dissertation advisor.
