UMN Water Council: Addressing the Grand Challenge of Access to Clean Water for the 21st Century
Join us to learn about the UMN Water Council, a new, interdisciplinary team bringing together scholars and resources from across the University of Minnesota system to tackle the pressing concern of access to clean water for the 21st century. Water Council Executive Committee leaders Jeffrey M. Peterson (Director, UMN Water Resources Center and Professor, Applied Economics) and Robert Sterner (Director, Large Lakes Observatory and Professor, UMD Department of Biology) will talk about the Council’s vital roles in cutting across scholarly boundaries to promote strategic water research and education and in finding ways to integrate University research into state and federal policy initiatives as we seek solutions to complex water issues.
This presentation is hosted by the Minnesota Water Research Fund as part of its mission to educate our community about exciting water research at UMN.
