Our Global Research Efforts
The establishment of Maritza Biological Station marked the beginning of increasingly far-flung travels for Stroud Water Research Center researchers and educators, which would take them literally around the world: to conduct research on the Amazon and Congo rivers and the streams of Papua New Guinea, to lead education workshops in Peru and organize a Leaf Pack group in Kenya in collaboration with Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai’s Green Belt Movement, and most recently, to journey to the bucolic country of Bhutan, high in the Himalayas, to assess water-quality conditions and help set up monitoring and citizen science programs to enable local communities to protect their freshwater sources, which are at once an enormous economic asset and a fragile natural ecosystem.
