Stroud Water Research Center
Stroud Center scientist John K. Jackson, Ph.D., will explore whether environmental laws are protecting our streams and rivers.
Stroud Water Research Center scientists sampled stream macroinvertebrates (i.e., primarily insects, crayfish, and worms) and baseflow water chemistry to assess stream condition as a cumulative measure of the effects of…
Scientists combined data collected by the White Clay Creek Stream Watch Program (Pennsylvania and Delaware) and Stroud Water Research Center to provide an assessment of current conditions across 18 locations…
This project took advantage of the unique facilities of Stroud Water Research Center as a field station with first-rate laboratory facilities in an Exceptional Value Watershed and the experience of…
This laboratory project investigates macroinvertebrate and fish responses to artificial changes in water temperature. Thermal regimes are warmer than normal and approach or exceed physiological and regulatory limits. Daily temperature…
Denis Newbold, Ph.D., holds strong political beliefs and an absolute commitment to scientific rigor, not an easy place to be when science is under fire.
Brookshire, E.N.J., L.O. Hedin, J.D. Newbold, D.M. Sigman, and J.K. Jackson. 2012. Nature Geoscience 5:123–126.
Stroud Water Research Center researchers were asked to provide evidence of the relationship between changes in land use and changes in stream quality. The Stroud Center’s data from hundreds of…
Stroud Water Research Center researchers reviewed the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s proposed water quality criteria for chloride. The proposed criteria are not protective of aquatic communities and should be…
This research, education, and outreach project continues efforts with local watershed groups to monitor macroinvertebrates in streams throughout the Schuylkill River Basin, which is located in the Northern Piedmont and…
