What's New in the Labs? Video of Postdoc Yun (Rosa) Yu
Environmental Engineering Postdoc Yun (Rosa) Yu explains her experiment at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder. Rosa works with Dr. Fernando Rosario-Ortiz on a NSF research project "Characterizing Pyrogenic Soil Organic Matter as a Source of Nitrogenous Desinfection Byproducts" looking at the transformation and mobilization of soil organic matter by forest fires and the role of pyrogenic organic matter as emerging precursors for drinking water disinfection byproducts. In this experiment, she鈥檚 using polymeric adsorbents to extract dissolved organic matter from a stream water sample collected from a burnt catchment in California. From the extracted organic matter, she鈥檚 trying to identify the thermal degradation products from soils and plants that were derived due to burning.
