Stroud Water Research Center
Scientists are using new knowledge to provide an update of the River Continuum Concept and develop a broad model of carbon cycling.
Two weeks into their work in Papua New Guinea, Dr. Anthony Aufdenkampe and his colleagues had already surveyed more than 600 miles of remote jungle rivers.

Stroud Center scientists think Papua New Guinea might be more important in terms of carbon and sediment discharge than the entire Amazon River.
The Stroud Center has been recording daily, monthly, seasonal, annual — and even multiyear data — in Costa Rica to gain insights on climate change.

Yellowstone Lake is the subject of exciting research by Jinjun Kan, the microbial ecologist who will join the Stroud Water Research Center in the spring.
Last summer, Stroud Center scientists and educators traveled to Peru and sampled 31 stream and river sites that ranged from pristine to severely polluted.
Dr. Gill’s mission is to expand educational programs and attract new audiences while “making science accessible in a way that maintains its integrity.”
