Ecohydrology PhD candidate Adrian Mellage visited Technion
Tuesday, February 20, 2018
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
