Experimental floods released from dams for ecological purposes also bring along large amounts of fine sediment which need to be measured. An example of such an application is produced here by Jessica Droujko from the HYDROL group.
Joaquin Jiménez-Martínez combines experimental work with advanced modeling to explore how water moves and interacts with its environment. With expertise spanning from micrometer-scale pore processes to field-scale hydrology, his research is dedicated to understanding and protecting our underground reservoirs. On the occasion of his promotion to Adjunct Professor, we asked what currently drives him in research and teaching.
Preventing food waste can benefit both consumers and the environment. This is the result of a 2019 study by ESD researchers Claudia Beretta and Stefanie Hellweg. An article in the newspaper "Tagesanzeiger" has covered this research in an article about food waste.
If you want to make a contribution to solving the increasingly urgent challenges in the environmental and climate field, the IfU is the right place for you. Research and practice are brought together in our Environmental Engineering course.
