Boehm Research Group at Stanford
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This collection contains datasets and other research outputs from the Boehm Research Group at Stanford, led by Professor Alexandra Boehm. The group studies the sources and fates of pathogens in the environment, including their transport in natural and engineered systems, and how pathogens are transmitted to humans through contact with water, feces, and contaminated surfaces. Research is focused on key problems in both developed and developing countries with the overarching goal of designing and testing novel interventions and technologies for reducing the burden of disease. The group also studies coastal water quality and addresses the sources, transformation, transport, and ecology of biocolloids -- specifically fecal indicator organisms, DNA, pathogens, and phytoplankton -- as well as sources and fate of nitrogen. This knowledge is crucial to formulating new management policies and engineering practices that protect human and ecosystem health at the coastal margins.
