WEST VIRGINIA—Rooted in Research is the Northern Research Station’s science delivery platform. Through webinars, science briefs and more, Rooted in Research strives to deliver science in support of natural resource management and decision-making.

On Wednesdays in May, we will be hosting a collaborative Rooted in Research webinar series organized in partnership with the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science and the USDA Northern Forests and Northeast Climate Hubs. 

Rooted in Research: Changing Hydrology, Changing Landscapes is a four-part webinar mini-series that dives into the latest research and management on issues related to extreme rain and flooding in forests, cities, and agricultural lands. Each webinar will feature research investigating the hydrological shifts brought about by climate change, its impacts on a focal landscape, and management challenges and solutions.

These webinars will consist of presentations followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
