Bahar Hassanpour is an assistant professor in plant and earth science with a focus on agricultural water management. Bahar teaches undergraduate classes related to hydrology and water quality, hydrogeology, agricultural waste management, and water quality modeling. non-point source pollution engineering. Bahar earned her BS in Agricultural Engineering-Water Engineering from Urmia University and her MS in irrigation and drainage from the University of Tehran. She then attended Cornell University, where she earned a second MS and a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering. Before beginning her appointment at UW–River Falls, Hassanpour was a postdoctoral research scholar in the Department of Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University. Her research interests include remediation of non-point source pollution, water quality, nutrient cycling, and the fate and transport of contaminants. Below are her selected publications:
