Grant Number: 20020634
To offer a 2-day short course in river processes to local environmental activists and municipal officials. The course will cover the basic hydrologic, geomorphic, chemical, and biological processes that govern stream ecosystems, and how they are perturbed by human activity. Participants will receive the scientific tools that they need in order to understand and critically evaluate environmental data on the Quinnpiac River.
