David Quanrud

Dr. Quanrud studies sustainability of water resources, with specific interest in water quality issues.  Recent areas of activity include inter-basin water transfers, urban ecological sustainability in arid regions, and fate of microplastics in an effluent-dependent stream.  His current research focuses on understanding light-driven processes (photolysis) for degrading emerging trace organic contaminants in wastewater effluent in engineered and natural systems (constructed wetland, effluent-dependent river).
