Paul Melillo

Paul's research focused on urban hydrology, specifically the changes in
infiltration rates caused by land use practices in the City of Burlington. He
tested numerous plots using a sprinkling infiltrometer we designed, as
well as doing air photo analysis of land use change in neighborhoods
around UVM.
