Below are a series of articles, published in the December 2006 issue of the Journal of the North American Benthological Society, that present the results from the first three years (2000-2002) of a water-quality monitoring project conducted by Stroud scientists in the drinking-water-source areas for New York City. The entire project lasted six years and involved all of our research interests at the Center including macroinvertebrates, inorganic chemistry, molecular tracers, organic matter, and ecosystem processes.
