On Thursday, December 4 @ 11am ET, join Cary Institute for a virtual scientific seminar by Dr. Kelly Aho, Boston University.
Streams and rivers play important roles in carbon cycling. They act as connectors, biogeochemically linking the land, ocean, and atmosphere, and as reactors, supporting high rates of biogeochemical activity.
In this talk, Aho will present on processes controlling production and emission of greenhouse gases from these freshwater ecosystems, including how streams and rivers route terrestrially derived solutes to the atmosphere and how direct measurements of greenhouse gases can provide novel insights into existing ecological theory. This work has implications for not only understanding how freshwater ecosystems function biogeochemically, but also for predicting responses to climate change and potential climate feedbacks.
Free and open to all. Registration required via Eventbrite.
