NEWS & NOTEWORTHY

Last week I attended the ASABE's Global Water Security for Agriculture and Natural Resources Conference in Hyderabad,

Undergraduate researcher, Ivan Bystrov, who works on a joint research project in the Muenich and Garcia Labs won FIRST place in the undergraduate student poster competition at the 2018 AZ Hydrological Society Annual Meeting, September 19-21. Ivan presented a poster on the urban stormwater and green infrastructure sampling he has been doing in the Phoenix area over the 2018 AZ monsoon season - one of the wettest in a while! Congratulations, Ivan! Presentation citation: Bystrov I, Muenich RL,

Last week (Aug 23-24) I helped to host and facilitate a workshop with the Sustainable Phosphorus Alliance on modeling phosphorus from the field to watershed scale. The two-day workshop in Columbus brought together 16 researchers (both academic and government) to discuss research and data gaps in how we model phosphorus and where the field should consider focusing research efforts.

Last week I was happy to get back to my old stomping ground in Southeastern Michigan to attend the American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers (ASABE) Annual International Meeting. This is the professional society that I have been a member of the longest (11 years!) and I enjoy their ability to integrate diverse perspectives and disciplines into one place.
