Beyond the Lab Seminars

At the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, we value learning from experts in environmental science and fluid mechanics during our SAFL Seminars, as well as examining issues, ideas, and areas of study from a multitude of perspectives beyond these disciplines during the Beyond the Lab Seminars.

Through Beyond the Lab Seminars, we learn from experts in other fields and the community, enriching our understanding of environmental science and fluid mechanics while situating research and other concepts in a holistic context. 

Past Beyond the Lab Seminars include: 

• Making Canoes Making Kin Making Waves: The Native Canoe Program with Ȟaȟáwakpa (Dakota) / Misi-Ziibi (Anishinaabe) / The Mississippi River - Vicente Diaz, University of Minnesota (Spring 2023)

• The Ghost Valley - Sara Holger, Lead Interpretive Naturalist at Whitewater State Park (Fall 2023)

• Talking Fire with Vern Northrup, Damon Panek and Kurt Kipfmueller (Spring 2022)
