During storms, sediment plumes play a crucial role in the export of nutrients from rivers. This project investigates the changes in nutrient concentrations within these plumes.
Understanding how biological processes alter nutrient concentrations will help improve watershed management models and identify which methods of reducing nutrient pollution are most effective in agricultural watersheds.
