Our 4th year Civil Engineering undergraduate dissertation students & our lab technician doing fieldwork on a local stream. They are quantifying the mixing in a local stream, to identify how long it takes a pollutant to become fully mixed across the channel. This relates to CSO outfalls and where to monitor downstream water quality. 👌

One to watch: congratulations to PhD student, Joe, who won the best paper award at the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) conference for his paper on his research topic exploring how aircraft and engine design can reduce the global environmental impact of contrails. 👏
