Three seminars are scheduled this week in Hardin Hall, beginning with the School of Natural Resources Seminar Series on Wednesday, Sept. 19. The Geography and Applied Ecology seminar series’ will both host talks on Friday, Sept. 21.
On Wednesday, Elizabeth Anderson—a freshwater ecologist in the department of earth and environment at Florida International University—will present "Balancing freshwater needs of humans and ecosystems in East Africa" in the Hardin Hall auditorium at 3:30 p.m.
Anderson will discuss her research in East Africa's Mara River and Wami-Ruvu basins, and "the use of environmental flow assessments in water resources management in these two basins, and the applicability of this tool in other contexts."
