Mohawk Watershed Syposium
College Park Hall
Schenectdy, NY
Reconnect with friends and colleagues working in the basin, and get up to speed with the latest developments in the watershed. The Geology Department at Union College will host the fourteenth symposium on the physical aspects of the Mohawk Watershed in New York State. The meeting highlights recent and on-going work in the watershed during oral and poster presentations.
The day-long conference will be followed by a reception. We continue to place emphasis on poster presentations, which means a reduction in the number of slots of volunteered talks, and an increase the number of posters and the time for posters. You can see summaries and abstract volumes from previous meetings here.
After a hiatus during the pandemic, we are looking forwward to an exciting program focussed on:
- water quality
- fisheries and habitats
- flooding and resiliency
- invasive species
- recreation and stewardship
