Adrian in  Haifa Israel
Israel Institute of Technology (Haifa, Israel) as part of his project’s ongoing collaboration with Dr. Alex Furman at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Technion. During his two-week research visit Adrian worked closely with Dr. Furman (his co-advisor) on hydraulic parameter estimation from a series of experiments conducted in the Ecohydrology laboratory, tapping into Dr. Furman’s soil physics expertise. In addition, during his stay alternative approaches to model the interplay between transport-controlled and reaction-controlled biogeochemical dynamics in fluctuating water table environments were developed. On the last day of the exchange a meeting with researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem was organized at the Grand Water Research Institute to discuss the state-of-the-art of spectral induced polarization monitoring of near-surface biogeochemical processes, another facet of the UWaterloo-Technion collaboration
