Description

This comic was developed within the Horizon Europe project SpongeScapes as part of its communication and outreach activities. It follows the journey of Immy, a PhD student exploring river restoration through fieldwork, laboratory experiments, and data analysis on two rivers in the UK. The comic introduces audiences to concepts of nature-based solutions, fluvial processes, and environmental research in an accessible and visual way.
