On Friday 24th October early career researchers from AOM Lab participated in the Global Water Institute Water@UNSW Symposium. This annual event provides a venue for UNSW water researchers to present their work to the water community and aims to promote cross-disciplinary water research at UNSW. On the day there was a diverse range of water-related topics covered, including environmental contaminants, urbanisation impacts on rainfall, biosolids management, innovative water treatment technologies, coastal and shoreline resilience, and sustainable water solutions for climate adaptation.
The AOM participants did a fantastic job of presenting their work with their topics below:
