We are on Week 3 of the Water Resources Science Spring Seminar Series. This week is “Exploring the Water Quality of the World’s Major River Systems: Lessons Learned in Communicating Conservation” being presented by Dr. Tamie Jovanelly, Oregon State University at 4:00pm in Burt Hall 193 or via the zoom link (zoom password WRS2025). For questions or concerns, contact knutscas@oregonstate.edu.

Dr. Jovanelly is a Professor and Research Affiliate in Geology at Berry College in Georgia. She is a classically trained hydrologist. She has completed water quality assessments on five continents comparing developed, undeveloped, and developing countries while focusing on major river systems including the Nile, Ganges, Amazon, Mississippi. In 2017-19, she was awarded a US Fulbright Research position with Nacional Universidad in Costa Rica to study water resources in national parks. This came after she completed her first Fulbright Research assignment (2013-14) with Makerere University (Uganda), where she focused on forest hydrology, a project funded by the National Geographic Society. In addition, Dr. Jovanelly was appointed as a US Fulbright Specialist, which allowed her to consult on worldwide water conservation, allocation, and quality issues. She will be visiting with us on Wednesday and Thursday this week.

Also please note Dr. Jovanelly will be giving a second talk, Iceland- an island torn apart. Past and present fissure eruptions., on Thursday at 4 PM also in Burt 193.
