Bowen defends his PhD thesis!

Ecohydrology group PhD student Bowen Zhou successfully defended his thesis on Wednesday, December 6, 2023 via a hybrid defence. Bowen’s thesis is titled "Modelling effects of stormwater best management practices on urban stormwater runoff phosphorus." 

On November 30, the LoCo2 project was launched at the Danish Technical University (DTU) in Lyngby, Denmark. The project is led by Dr. Hamid Nick of the Danish Offshore Technology Centre at DTU. LoCo2 will focus on the journey CO2 and other fluids will take to the seabed following a future storage site leak.
