Showcasing Research at Urban Water TMU: It All Starts with Brilliant HQP
Eleven Urban Water TMU graduate students showcased their research during the Canadian Science Policy Conference. The students came from a variety of disciplines and spoke on a range of research topics including: water policy, anaerobic digestion of wastewater, contaminants in surface water such as microplastics and road salt, to name a few. This event was presented as a virtual function during the conference and aired on Nov 20th 2020.
