MPE Wednesday Seminar 10th October – Prof Owen Jones at University of Reading
Title: Runoff processes on trees Abstract: The volume of catchment discharge that reaches a stream via the overland flow path is critical for water quality prediction, because it is via this pathway that most particulate pollutants are generated and transported to the stream channel, via surface erosion processes. When it rains, spatial variation in… Read more »
