M. Bayani Cardenas visits UFZ

Birdsall-Dreiss distinguished lecturer M. Bayani Cardenas will visit UFZ Leipzig from 30th June to 1st July 2025.

Portrait Bayani Cardenas M. Bayani Cardenas is a hydrology professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences of the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. His research seeks to understand flow and transport processes across different hydrologic settings, water quality and quantity problems, and scales, using a combination of theoretical, computational, and observational methods.

On June 30th at 4 p.m. you have the opportunity to join his lecture "Insights on groundwater renewability from age and residence time analysis" at the UFZ lecture hall (room 254, building 1.0, UFZ Leipzig). Registration is not required. You also have the chance for further exchange with Bayani Cardenas - for arranging a time slot please contact Jette Wüst.
