The Penn State Center for Nutrient Solutions will hold an in person and online seminar entitled, “What Is A Healthy Stream Or Wetland Worth?” on February 27 starting at 12:15.

Robert P. Brooks, Professor of Geography and Ecology, Director of Riparia at Penn State, will make a presentation on identifying the value the benefits accrued to people from ecosystem services.

This seminar will explore approaches to making those translations. The focus will be on demonstrating how impacts on landscape and field-based indicators of stream, wetland, and riparian condition can be used to predict changes in the services provided to us all by healthy aquatic ecosystems, such as water-based recreation, floodwater storage, and carbon sequestration.

The seminar will be held in 105 Forest Resources Building on the Penn State campus in State College.  Click Here to participate by webinar.
