Ecohydrology Group presents research at AGU Fall 2017 Meeting in New Orleans

This week, Ecohydrology Group members are presenting their research at the 2017 AGU Fall Meeting (December 11-15, 2017) in New Orleans, Louisiana. With nearly 24,000 attendees, the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting is the largest Earth and space science meeting in the world.

Ecohydrology Group researchers, Geertje Pronk, Fereidoun Rezanezhad and Philippe Van Cappellen, organized a session titled “Integrative Approaches to Advance Understanding of Soil and Sediment Biogeochemical Functioning”, which includes 7 oral and 11 poster presentations.
