Biotransformation of Contaminants in Natural Water Treatment Systems
Research Focus
Non-point source pollutants are the leading cause of water quality degradation. Engineered Natural Treatment Systems take advantage of low-energy biological processes to capture and transform contaminants. Our research focuses on the fundamental mechanisms related to the microbial and vegetative biotransformation of emerging contaminants in aquatic environments.
Specifically, we focus on the discovery of novel transformation products and pathways of emerging contaminants in the environment. This work informs understanding of contaminant fate and the optimization of resilient water infrastructure through sustainable natural systems-based treatment technologies to improve water quality for ecosystem and human health.

You can also stack cards vertically, which can be helpful when linking to child pages within a section of your site.
Call to action
If Cards aren't prominent enough, the Call to Action block can be used to more directly drive your users to interact with a link. Background and button color, as well as button text, are changeable from the blocks' Configure menu.
Event and news feeds
You can use the Events block to pull a feed of events directly from events.uiowa.edu. Use the Configure menu to select content tags you'd like to use to filter content, how many events you'd like to display, and how you'd like them presented.
The example Articles block on the right pulls a feed from content added to your site using the "Article" page type. The Events feed below is pulled from content marked relevant to Students.

Stats and rankings
Use the Statistics content block to highlight everything that makes your department or unit stand out. You can place them next to body content by adding them to an adjacent column. You can also place a series of stats side-by-side.
# 34
Top 3 %
95 %
The "prefix" and "suffix" fields allow for placement of smaller text before or after the primary number or statistic being highlighted. Each stat can also be left- or center-aligned within the column.
