Applied Water Research In NYS

1.0 credits · Undergraduate

Every year, the New York State Water Resources Institute (NYSWRI) at Cornell supports applied research that addresses critical water resource problems in NYS and the nation. This seminar series brings together researchers who work with NYSWRI and state agency partners to support and improve water management in the state. Speakers will present on a broad range of water related topics including water engineering and infrastructure, climate and flood resilience, water quality monitoring and assessment, aquatic ecosystems and related outreach. We will focus on ways in which robust science can support and influence on-ground management and policy outcomes, center collaborative and interdisciplinary work between academics, water resource scientists, educators, managers, and policymakers in NYS. Students will gain valuable career insights and project creation perspectives from speakers.
