Stroud Water Research Center
Fishing guides in Michigan are using real-time data from an EnviroDIY monitoring station to remotely make appropriate decisions on where and when to fish.
For teachers, access to real-time data on the Monitor My Watershed data portal can revolutionize the way students are taught about water.
Not everyone has the opportunity to become a professional scientist, but a great scientist can come from anywhere. Anyone can be a part of science.
Master Watershed Stewards help develop science capacity to support stream and river protection and restoration by citizen science programs.
A new online field guide promises to be an important tool for monitoring water quality and learning how to correctly identify freshwater insects.
Citizen science engages people from all backgrounds in the scientific process, empowering them to help solve environmental problems in their communities.
Stroud Center staff took a road trip to Michigan to train citizens and volunteers to use lower-cost, do-it-yourself technologies to monitor water quality.
We’ll demonstrate site features and functionality and cover how this open educational resource can be used to support macroinvertebrate identification training with volunteers and students to improve confidence, accuracy, and engagement.
This new 100-level workshop will focus on abiotic and biotic stream characteristics in natural, urban, and agricultural settings.
Participants will receive an overview of stream ecology and watershed concepts based on research done at the Stroud Center. Taking our boots to the stream, we’ll experience hands-on examination of leaf packs with live aquatic macroinvertebrates, including their identification, and take a look at the Leaf Pack Network® website.
