| The MARC Water Quality Public Education Committee, in cooperation with Missouri Water Environment Association and Kansas Water Environment Association, invites you to participate in the 2023 KC Urban Stormwater Conference on January 31-February 1. The keynote presentations will be given by Dr. Robert Traver, a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Villanova University and founding Director of the Villanova Center for Resilient Water Systems; and by Dr. Trisha Moore, Associate Professor in the Biological and Agricultural Engineering Department at Kansas State University. Dr. Traver teaches courses in hydrology, hydraulics, and urban stormwater management and has spent over thirty years researching green stormwater infrastructure, aimed at improving engineering practices through understanding how climate interacts with engineering unit processes. Dr. Moore conducts teaching and research in areas of ecological engineering and water resources management. Her current research is focused on understanding processes and performance of green infrastructure and other nature-based solutions. |
