“The Essential Element” – Science After Hours

A Science After Hours program hosted by the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute.

A goal of Science After Hours is for scientists and researchers to share their research with the community!
Three students from the NSF IGERT NSPIRE (Isaac Madsen, Jacqueline Burgher, and Julian Reyes) program at Washington State University will be presenting

The event will be held at the Camas Prairie Winery in Moscow, ID on Thursday, Nov 5th from 7-8pm.

Can Low Impact Development Fix the Urban Stream Syndrome?

ANAND JAYAKARAN, PH.D., PE
Associate Professor and LID Specialist

The talk will focus on the transformation of hydrologic processes associated with land use change, and how engineering using ecosystem-centric principles could lead to the better management of surface runoff in urbanizing watersheds. Ani will outline some of his work and those done by colleagues at three spatial scales, as well as relating past efforts to current work that promote the use of Low Impact Development techniques in the state of Washington.

Date: Monday, November 2, 2015
Place: Sloan 175
Time: 4:10 p.m.—5:00 p.m.

Jenny Adam: Model Conditions

 

 

  Jenny Adam, model conditions
 
 For more than 75 years, Washington State University researchers have created models for hydroelectric power plants along the Pacific Northwest’s Columbia River and around the world
Today, WSU researchers like Jennifer Adam are developing advanced computer models to assess how future economic and environmental conditions will affect water supply, hydropower generation, and agricultural productivity in the Columbia River Basin. Their forecast will provide policy leaders with the critical information needed to make better decisions about where and how to fund water supply projects in the future.
.
 125 years, and counting. Learn more about Jennifer Adam’s research.
