Stroud Water Research Center
A new Stroud Center study shows that the density of water plays a previously overlooked role in nutrient and carbon cycling in freshwater ecosystems.

Researchers at Stroud Water Research Center are using a rainfall simulator to assess how farming practices affect water quality in our streams and rivers.
Students at the Migrant Education Summer Camp went on an online watershed expedition to learn about their local watersheds.

“We are really leaning on Stroud to provide the aquatic ecology piece, to help us put data into context and advance our understanding of watershed health.”
Building trust in the scientific process starts with communicating our research to non-scientists. To that end, our scientists share snapshots of three long-term experiments.
To help understand the extent of this problem in Pennsylvania, scientists are looking at the occurrence and migration of biosolid-derived PFASs into soil and water on agricultural fields.
The Stroud Center biogeochemist was featured in a women-in-STEM webinar series hosted by EarthEcho International.
Stream restorations rarely get monitored rigorously enough to determine if the “patient” has fully recovered.
