Climate and Precipitation
Conducting research on climate and precipitation-related topics is imperative for helping society adapt and manage our resources sustainably for the future. SAFL has researchers who look to understand past climates and landscape evolution (including during the last glacial maximum), recent and ongoing shifts in precipitation patterns and landscape evolution, and developing new techniques for mapping and quantifying changes in precipitation patterns at both local and global scales.

SAFL team designs flume to support juvenile fish studies
Posted
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) tasked SAFL researchers with the design of a race-track style flume, with the geometry and hydraulic conditions for early life stages of pallid sturgeon, an ancient but endangered fish species which historically inhabited the Missouri and lower Mississippi rivers
