Addressing Complex Challenges and Opportunities in Aquatic Sciences

The 2024 Gordon Research Conference on Environmental Sciences: Water will be dedicated to research that addresses both challenges and opportunities across all aspects of aquatic environmental science. Ensuring water quality is critical for protecting human and ecosystem health, as well as maintaining ecosystem services. Due to the complexity of natural and engineered aquatic systems, the environmental science field must integrate multiple disciplines, including chemistry, biology, toxicology, and public health. This conference will showcase innovative researchers who focus on the current challenges facing water resources, including persistent contaminants, pathogens, and impacts of climate change. Importantly, the program will feature state-of-the-art solutions to water quality challenges, including novel approaches to recover resources, purify water, and mitigate carbon emissions across the water sector. The conference will highlight scientists who directly study environmental impacts through field measurements, community engagement, and efforts to address environmental justice issues related to water. The 2024 GRC will provide an inclusive and immersive experience that enables in-depth discussions and maximizes opportunities to build community for attendees of all career stages.
