Isabel Erb

Phd student

Isabel was first introduced to the Urbana Bad project in 2021 as part of her master’s degree project. Isabel has been continuing her work as an industrial doctoral student as of autumn 2022.

Her responsibilities in the Urbana Bad project moving forward will primarily involve finding factors that influence urban bathing water quality in Scania. This will be done by combining knowledge available from online monitoring technology, and the role of hydrology and bacterial compositions in sediments on bathing water quality. Parts of the project will include modeling online monitoring data that will contribute to assessing and forecasting microbial water quality in marine environments in Helsingborg.
