Stroud Water Research Center
The recovery of biological communities after disturbance has always been at the core of ecology as a discipline. While much is known about how interactive effects of flow velocity and…
The potential for streambank legacy sediments as nutrient sources for aquatic ecosystems has been understudied and is a critical gap in our knowledge. We hypothesize that erosion of streambank legacy…
The goal of this project is to produce a comprehensive model for PN fate and transport in watersheds, especially in agroecosystems subject to climate variability.
Learn the good, bad, and ugly about the microorganisms that may be found in your watershed. This eye-opening lecture will serve to help you better understand your watershed and how we can ensure clean, fresh water for our watershed.
Stroud™ Water Research Center is exploring the possibility of generating clean and renewable energy by using microorganisms.
The Critical Zone encompasses the external or near-surface Earth extending from the top of the vegetation canopy down to and including the zone of freely circulating groundwater. This project engages…
Stroud Center scientists are using DNA to identify the likely sources of fecal bacteria in streams, a potential human health risk.
