Quantifying and harnessing the multiple benefits of Blue Green Infrastructure (HYDROL Seminar 2021)

Blue Green Systems are nature-based solutions that provide cities with a range of ecosystem services. Planning such systems should leverage their multiple benefits for a sustainable, efficient and cost-effective outcome. This seminar showcases some of my research, which has been striving to quantify and provide suitable ways of assessing various benefits including amenity, biodiversity and heat mitigation among others. This seminar was presented at the ETH Zurich Hydrology and Water Resources Management (HYDROL) Group's seminar series on June 17th 2021.
