Freshwater “flows” across many disciplines. Today’s freshwater issues are complex, and no single discipline can tackle them alone. That’s where we come in. The Freshwater Initiative promotes community interaction and facilitates new and creative applications of freshwater research in the water science and engineering communities.
Join usThursday, July 18, 11:00 am–12:00 pm, Allen Auditorium (inside UW’s Allen Library):
Please join students and faculty from the field course on Ecocultural Restoration and Salmon Science in the Klamath Basin as they share scientific results and reflections on water, salmon, fire, and reciprocal relations along the mid-Klamath River.
As the climate warms, we can’t restore waterways to pristine condition, but models can predict potential changes, write UW SAFS professor Julian Olden and colleagues in Nature Magazine.

As the human footprint spreads, the need to reduce per-capita effects on natural resources has become more urgent. Educating large groups of consumers about the sustainability of not only their individual actions, but also broader economic and political structures, is a huge conservation challenge. Boredom and despair about environmental issues can also stagnate progress. Chief among these issues of concern is water use (supply) and water quality (pollution). The project, led by School of Aquatic and Fisheries Science Research Scientist Lauren Kuehne, seeks to overcome these challenges by using games built around key conservation topics. In addition to being fun,…
