Brooklyn Urban Ecology and Environment Program (BUEE)

Our lab primarily focuses on microbial cycling and flux of carbon and nitrogen in aquatic systems. We are also interested in understanding how human stressors impact aquatic environments and in identifying solutions to offset these impacts, particularly as it pertains to water resource sustainability. We’ve developed a novel ‘blue’ technology (ecoWEIR) that augments green infrastructure to maximize stormwater-related pollutant removal efficiency while allowing for water storage and reuse.
