The purpose of the Stroud Center’s Scientific Seminar series is to enhance scientific exchange on topics of stream, river, and watershed science between Stroud Center staff and invited scientists from other institutions. Other scientists in the area are encouraged to attend lectures and are welcome to meet with our invited guests (please contact us to arrange meetings).
Completed seminars, 2006-2007
