Grant Number: 20050346
To offer a short course in river processes to local members of conservation/inland wetland commissions and environmrntal activists. The course will cover the basic hydrologic, geomorphic, chemical and biological processes that govern stream exosystems, and how they are perturbed by human activities. Participants will receive the scientific tools that they need in order to understand and critically evaluate environemntal data on the Q River.
