Knauss Brown Bag - Today!

Welcome back to the Knauss Brown Bag Seminar Series, where we've had back-to-back weeks of great presentations from our impressive fellows.

Louisiana coastal waterways.
This week, come hear Amy Scaroni (National Sea Grant Office) tell us all about the work that has inspired her to work toward managing for sustainable coasts and communities.  She will present on her dissertation work, which highlights the impacts of nutrient runoff from levees along the Mississippi River into the eutrophic waters of the Gulf of Mexico.  When anthropogenic activities isolate rivers from their historic flood plains, fewer nutrients are taken up and more flow into the growing dead zones downstream.  Amy's work has countless implications for coastal wetlands planning and restoration, so come on over and hear all the details from the source!

Looking forward to seeing you there!
