Pesticide Processing and Organic Matter Composition in Prairie Pothole Wetlands
William Arnold
Civil, Environmental, and Geo- Engineering, University of Minnesota
ABSTRACT: The prairie pothole region in the upper Midwest United States is an ecosystem threatened by agricultural activities, energy extraction, and climate change. The prairie pothole wetlands present both a threat to native species and an opportunity to manage pesticide laden runoff. Arnold will explore the reactivity of pesticides in the sediment and the water column in wetlands.
