Novel Approaches and Tools to Address Aquatic Impacts on Human and Environmental Health

The 2026 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. This conference will showcase innovative researchers who focus on current water resources challenges, including the presence of persistent contaminants and pathogens, access to clean water for communities, and environmental stresses on water. The conference will highlight scientists who directly study environmental impacts through field measurements and community engagement, along with those working at the science-policy interface. Importantly, the program will feature a scientific program that links water quality issues, the protection of human health, and sustainability of environmental resources through a plenary program of leading researchers from different fields and perspectives - themes include chemical and biological exposures, human health impacts, and innovative solutions for the management of water resources The 2026 GRC will provide an engaging and immersive experience that enables in-depth discussions and maximizes opportunities to build community for attendees of all career stages.
