24th December: and an urban hydrologist on a green roof

Anne can’t resist the terrible pun about her work taking her to new heights in 2015. She has a new project monitoring five pieces of green infrastructure at Cleveland Metroparks’ Watershed Stewardship Centre, and she’s having a blast learning the ins and outs of this particular site’s green roof, bioretention cells, enhanced swale, and constructed wetland. Anne has two new graduate students and two fantastic collaborators working with her on the project, and she’s anticipating the arrival of a postdoctoral scholar early next year. I think it’s safe to say that Anne’s urban hydrology research looks set to soar in 2016.
