Project Title: Soil Amendments for Increased Infiltration and Water Quality Improvement
Specialization: Low-Impact Development
Advisor: Dr. Michael Dukes

Eban Bean earned his PhD degree in August 2010. Dr. Bean was a unique member of the research team, where he focused on research areas indirectly related to irrigation such as infiltration, stormwater runoff, and low impact development (LID). After graduation, Dr. Bean Joined the private sector by accepting a position at Geosyntec Consultants based in Kennesaw, GA where he continues to work as a water resources engineer in the area of storm water treatment.


 

Sylvia Lang

Sylvia earned her Ph.D. in 2010 from UF's Department of Agricultural & Biological Engineering under her advisor Dr. Mark Clark Ph.D. in the Department of Soil and Water Science. Sylvia Lang studied the effects of urbanization on stormwater hydrology and water quality for a PhD in Hydrology from the University of Florida Department of Soil and Water Science. She received her MS degree in Watershed Science from Colorado State University in 2000, where she studied the effects of logging on erosion in a wet tropical forest in Costa Rica. Sylvia loves the outdoors and hands-on education programs. In her spare time Sylvia worked at PREC developing educational materials on LID techniques for better stormwater management in master planned urban developments, Resource Efficient Community Development: A Practicum for Local Public Officials and Staff.
