Assistant Professor Marccus Hendricks, along with colleagues from the National Center for Smart Growth, the iSchool, the A. James Clark School of Engineering, Facilities Management and others will study stormwater runoff from campus into regional waterways using new outdoor sensors, which provide a real-time view of water quality and quantity as well as infrastructure performance on campus.
