22 Feb '21

Good morning all, Below please find information on a presentation coming up this Friday by PhD student in Environmental Sciences, Froggi VanRiper, regarding her work on Container-Based Sanitation in Urban Haiti. Kindly, ~Nordica Nordica A. MacCarty, Ph.D. (she/her/hers) | Assistant Professor | Richard & Gretchen Evans Scholar of Humanitarian Engineering | School of Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering | Oregon State University Office: 312 Rogers Hall | Mailing: 204 Rogers Hall | Corvallis, OR 97331 | Mobile: 541.684.4540 Our third brief online forum of 2021: No place to Poop! - Researching Sustainable Urban Sanitation in Northern Haiti [https://mcusercontent.com/21434ae9d46c3bfdf376a157d/images/f5862873-435d-4a…] We are happy to announce a conversation with Froggi VanRiper during our ESGP Weekly Meeting. Everyone is welcome to join. Friday, February 26th at 1:00pm (Pacific Time) via Zoom In Haiti, nearly 20% of the population has no access to a toilet. Even where toilets are available, excreta drains to the environment without treatment. Container-based sanitation (CBS), a newly emerging solution for urban sanitation coverage, is changing this landscape. Quick to deploy, and requiring no prior infrastructure, CBS provides household toilet access, and achieves safe treatment and reuse of excreta. Froggi will illustrate key findings, and discuss the process of conducting international field research in a formerly colonized country, followed by an opportunity for participant Q&A. Froggi VanRiper is a PhD candidate in the Environmental Sciences Graduate Program at Oregon State University, with a focus on humanitarian engineering. Her doctoral research centers around resource-oriented sanitation systems for dense urban settings in formerly colonized countries. Working in collaboration with the international Container Based Sanitation Alliance (cbsa.global) and SOIL in Haiti (oursoil.org<https://oregonstate.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=21434ae9d46c3bfdf376a…>), Froggi spent the summer of 2019 in Cap Haïtien, Haiti, studying the impacts of the EkoLakay container-based sanitation service on the health and wellbeing of the metropolitan community. Her research has been presented to the national government of Haiti, and is influencing ongoing sanitation planning for the Cap Haïtien metro area.
