A Washington State University-led research team has received a collaborative National Science Foundation grant to improve understanding of how contaminants, nutrients and naturally occurring minerals interact with the environment as they move downstream in a river.
The researchers, including collaborators from New Mexico State University, University of New Mexico, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will develop a database of river experiments around the world as they work to improve the mathematical modeling of the transport processes.Rivers can be thought of as the kidney or liver of our planet, filtering contaminants and moving important weathered materials and nutrients, as well
