Dr. Jamieson’s research involves examining how ecologically engineered systems can be used for water management in cold climates. He is aiming is to integrate naturally-occurring biochemical processes in the design of sustainable environmental management systems and assess their potential environmental risks. For example, engineered wetlands for wastewater treatment do not require energy and chemical inputs. These are relatively cheap and easy to maintain, making them an attractive option for small, isolated communities with limited resources.
