SURF grant advances UNC microplastics research in western North Carolina

June 13, 2023

Last year, UNC-Chapel Hill junior Chloe Hall received a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), which she used to continue her research that began in the fall of 2021 at the Highlands Field Site. Her studies focus on microplastics in local rivers and she looks for correlations between storm events and microplastic concentrations in these freshwater systems.
