EPN Breakfast: Changing Rivers: Enhancing the natural and social wellbeing of Ohio alongside more floods and warmer temperatures
This event aims to explore the specific issues of stormwater management and regional extreme rainfall events and to connect these changes to empirical research on the biotic diversity in Ohio’s streams and rivers and on the socioeconomic health of human communities.

The event will feature extensive networking and educational opportunities. A two-hour extended (in-person only) session on stormwater management and rainfall events on specific community planning resources and aquatic biodiversity issues. The extended session of the program (9:50 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.) will be worth 2 CEU and PDH hours.
