Stroud Water Research Center
Big storm events deliver huge amounts of particulate materials, which contributes significantly to the total amount of nutrients in freshwater streams and rivers.
The Stroud Center will measure the huge amount sediment-associated nitrogen flushed downstream during intense storms, and investigate what happens to it.
For this study, we set out to determine the feasibility of using microbes to generate clean energy on a large scale. We deployed two streambed sediment microbial fuel cells in…
