Join us for an engaging seminar featuring Dr. LeRoy Poff, Professor in the Department of Biology at Colorado State University. This talk will explore one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time: how to sustain river ecosystems in the Anthropocene—a period defined by significant human influence on Earth’s systems.

Drawing on decades of research, Dr. Poff will discuss:

• The ecological principles that underpin river sustainability
• How human activities reshape river systems and their biodiversity
• Practical strategies for balancing ecological integrity with societal needs
• Lessons learned from integrating basic science with applied management

This seminar is an excellent opportunity for students, faculty, and anyone interested in ecology, environmental science, and sustainability to gain insights from a leading expert in river ecology.
