Bucknell University will host the 10th Susquehanna River Symposium, "The River, Its Landscapes, and Our Lives" November 13-14 at the Elaine Langone Center in Lewisburg, Union County.
The Symposium brings together academics, consultants, state, federal, and regional agencies, conservation groups, and the public to discuss ongoing scientific research and innovative projects, to share ideas, and to increase awareness of watershed health, management and sustainability issues facing the Susquehanna today.
In addition to display booths and exhibits from watershed groups, conservation organizations, and state and federal agencies, the symposium also features scientific research posters from over 150 students, faculty, and professionals working throughout the Susquehanna watershed.
Abstracts are being sought for oral presentations and posters covering a wide range of projects and research topics pertaining to the Susquehanna watershed.
All interested parties, including academics, professionals, and regulators, are invited to present either an oral presentation or poster. Students are encouraged to submit posters.
Topics for this year's symposium include, but are not limited to: land use history and the Anthropocene; the river as a classroom and laboratory; lakes and wetlands; headwater regions; climate change and the Susquehanna watershed; aquatic ecology and river health; fisheries management; ground hydrology, karst, and remediation; terrestrial ecosystems and the riparian corridor; stormwater management; water policy, including sustainable watershed management; river water chemistry and remediation; stream restoration and fluvial geomorphology; water quality improvement projects; natural gas development, gravel roads, and pipelines; watershed conservation projects; Susquehanna River-Chesapeake Bay connections; and river communities and planning.
