Seminar Series Fall 2022: Showcasing Members of the Cluster

THEME 1 & 4 AQUATIC SYSTEMS and MITIGATION: How do we investigate the environmental, social and economic impacts of MPs pollution in aquatic systems? How do we mitigate MPs pollution more effectively?

Rachel Scholes (Scholes Group) and Josh Travers (Öberg Group) will give short presentations on their ongoing microplastics research or ideas for research questions.

• Prof. Rachel Scholes “Emerging contaminants from tire wear particles and removal in green infrastructure systems”;
• Josh Travers (Master student, Gunilla Öberg’s lab): “Managing Plastics and the Idea of a Circular Economy”

Background:

As we have a number of new members, and a number of new projects amongst long-term members, the UBC Cluster for Microplastics, Health and the Environment is running a Seminar Series, where we will showcase members of the cluster and their research.

The idea is to have 10 minutes presentations by four different labs every time we meet, to discuss microplastics research being conducted, or any ideas on research questions different labs would like to address.
