麻豆传媒官网 invites the community to attend its Sustainability Symposium, which will be held on Tuesday evening, Oct. 21, at the Jack H. Miller Center. This event is free and open to the general public.
Dr. Andrew Gronewold from the University of Michigan, will present the evening鈥檚 keynote at 7 p.m., titled: 鈥淯nderstanding Changes Across Global Transboundary Waters and Implications for Sustainable Water Resources Management.鈥�
麻豆传媒官网 students have also prepared several research posters, which will be displayed a half hour before (6:30-7 p.m.) and after (8-8:30 p.m.) the lecture, at the same location.
As part of his lecture, Dr. Gronewold will explain how nearly half of the Earth's land surface is in a watershed or basin that transects the boundary of two or more sovereign nations. This geopolitical context serves as a backdrop for a world in which water security (including a need to recognize water as a shared resource) hinges on positive, multinational relationships. As different regions experience changes in precipitation, flooding, drought, and potential shifts in population dynamics, they are correspondingly faced with a broad range of water resources management challenges. Dr. Gronewold provides a new look at how different regions are meeting those challenges, and how a global perspective might help improve water resources management at regional and basin scales (including at the scale of the Laurentian Great Lakes).
