This open seminar is hosted by the Young CAS project "Mixing by Interfaces: How Does Water Infiltration Control Mixing and Reaction in Soils?". The seminar is held by affiliated researcher Verónica L. Morales, who's an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at University of California, Davis. Her work is driven by interest in discovering emerging physico-chemical processes at the micro-scale that control macro-scale transport and fate of colloids and emerging nanoparticle contaminants in soils and groundwater.
