A special presentation about one of our most precious natural resources—fresh water. Dr. Bernard Sweeney from the Stroud Water Research Center will discuss the science of freshwater research, including how our streams and rivers function as a whole and the complex web of life that inhabits them. Only through knowing how healthy streams and rivers work, and what happens when they become polluted, can we determine how to protect and preserve this vital resource. Participants will leave with a fresh perspective on how to protect, preserve, and restore watersheds everywhere, including our local area.
Dr. Bernard Sweeney is the Director, President, Senior Research Scientist, Stroud Water Research Center Head, Freshwater Surveillance Group, The International Barcode of Life Project , Adjunct Professor of Biology, Department of Biology, University of Pennsylvania. His current research interests are: The role of water quality monitoring in conservation, population and community ecology of temperate and tropical aquatic invertebrates, pollution assessment in temperate and tropical streams using macroinvertebrates, the role of streamside forests in the structure and function of stream and river ecosystems, factors affecting the growth and survivorship of trees in riparian forests, the effects of global warming on stream ecosystems, genetic variation and gene flow among populations of stream insects, the effects of diet and seasonal temperature change on aquatic insect populations, evolution of facultative parthenogenesis in aquatic insects, bioenergetics and secondary production of aquatic insects, and the bioassay of toxic materials in aquatic systems.
