The 7th Annual Water Resources Research Center Conference at the University of Massachusetts Amherst will address the needs for water monitoring, assessment, and management of water resources in New England in the face of variability due to changes in climate, land use, population, and other environmental stressors.
The conference will provide an interdisciplinary forum for scientists, practitioners, and policy makers to discuss current critical water research; foster greater collaboration among scientists and practitioners; and strengthen the connection between research, education, and policy.
We invite researchers, stakeholders, and managers of water resources from academia, government, non-profits, and the private sector to submit poster abstracts in both basic and applied research that address these water resources challenges.
