Stroud Water Research Center
From exploring streams for aquatic insects to performing a quick water-quality check, campers were introduced to a new layer of their watershed each day.
“Our students have learned not only how to make contributions to a global community of researchers but have been empowered by sharing their own data with the world.”
Stroud Center scientists shared their work at the weeklong annual meeting of this premier international organization of aquatic scientists.
The new WATERS project will develop a student-centered curriculum for students of all abilities to learn water concepts and about water careers.
Low-cost, open-source data collectors and a suite of collaborative online tools are making big leaps in the field of watershed monitoring.
