Project Team


The Project Team actively works to disseminate information on the database through publication of papers and speaking at conferences. Selected proceedings from various conferences are listed below. In some cases, copyright restrictions prevent inclusion of the paper on this web site. In those cases, the conference sponsor or journal are listed and should be contacted for more information.

Satellite Broadcasts/Webinars
Web and Satellite Broadcast DVD: International Stormwater BMP Database. On November 29, 2006, the Center for Transportation and the Environment hosted a nationally transmitted broadcast via satellite television and the internet. This broadcast covered the database history, significant findings, monitoring guidance, and examples of how municipalities, DOTs, and others are contributing to and utilizing the database. FREE DVD copies of the broadcast are now available from http://cte.ncsu.edu/CTE/TechTransfer/Teleconferences/order.asp.
