“CLIMATE, SEWAGE AND WATER QUALITY IN THE GREAT LAKES”

The assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted increased threats to human and ecosystem health due to climate change. Although the climate – hydrology nexus and potential impacts of climate change on water resources are well documented, linkages between climate, land use, water quality and human health are poorly understood. The Great Lakes are a unique water basin and offers opportunities to explore this relationship via a coupled human aquatic systems approach.


This Wednesday in Hydrology Shlomo Neuman will be speaking in the departments seminar series. He will be discussing fractals and multi-scaling.
