Ecohydrology Group at AGU 2018

Monday, December 10, 2018

This week, Ecohydrology Group members are presenting their research at the 2018 AGU Fall Meeting (December 10-14, 2018) in Washington, D.C. With nearly 24,000 attendees, the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting is the largest Earth and space science meeting in the world.

Ecohydrology Group researcher, Fereidoun Rezanezhad, organized a session titled “Impacts of Winter Climate Change on Hydrobiogeochemical Dynamics of Terrestrial and Aquatic Systems During the Winter and Shoulder Seasons”, which includes 8 oral and 12 poster presentations. (Conveners: Alexandra Contosta, Sarah J. Nelson, Patrick Sorensen and Fereidoun Rezanezhad)
