Bree Marmur is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management where her research focuses on urban stormwater management and green infrastructure. Investigating both the effectiveness of small-scale stormwater best management practices and factors that encourage homeowner engagement in stormwater management, Bree spends her time in the field monitoring and sampling stormwater, out talking with urban homeowners about stormwater management, and at the computer working on hydrologic models. Bree’s background, with an MS in mechanical engineering and a BA in physics, allows her to bring a unique engineering perspective to natural resource management. Bree lives in Ames with her partner, a fellow ISU Ph.D. student, and their dog, Doc.
