Amidst the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic, Scout Morgan completed her undergraduate honor's thesis looking at the water quality of runoff from green roofs on campus. She found that surface runoff around campus looked pretty similar to precipitation and that runoff water quality from green roofs depended heavily on maintenance practices at the roof. That's not great news for the College of Law roof, where runoff had over 60 mg N/L as the roof's dual purpose as a hang-out spot and stormwater infrastructure lead to fertilizer applications that do not appear to be sticking around in the soil! She also won an honorable mention for climate and a sustainability award at the GSU Undergraduate Research Conference (done virtually) this spring!
Scout is my first undergrad to head off to the world and has been indispensable to running the lab, basically being in charge of the IC over the past year. I don't know how we will manage without her, but wish her the best! She is also a really good kitten rescuer, as you can see here: |
