The Gordon Research Seminar on Catchment Science: Interactions of Hydrology, Biology & Geochemistry is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.
The 2013 Seminar, entitled "Catchments Through the Looking Glass", explores the idea that research findings are influenced by context and techniques. We encourage contributions from any field connected to catchment science, including hydrology, ecology, and biogeochemistry. As you present your research findings, highlight the lens through which you work, such as a technique, discipline, or scale of analysis.
