Investigating the Status of Water Quality, Technology and Distribution from Glacial Sources to Contaminated Runoff

The Gordon Research Seminar on Environmental Sciences: Water is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

Environmental waters are influenced by a wide range of activities from changes in climate to contamination from medical, agricultural, and industrial sources. Improvement of water quality globally is facilitated by the combination of scientific research, social behavior, economics, and the political environment. The 2022 Environmental Sciences: Water GRS aims to discuss the nexus of social and scientific research to address the environmental justice aspect of aquatic science. In this meeting, we aim to bring together researchers from all disciplines of environmental science to better understand local and global impacts on the aquatic environment. Then we can address how these impacts translate to environmental exposures and ecosystem disruption to mitigate these impacts. Research presenters will be chosen based on broader impacts to society and scientific novelty. Also note that when applying in the other activities additional information section, please summarize your career stage/development and faculty mentor.
