Every year, the New York State Water Resources Institute (NYSWRI) at Cornell supports applied research that address critical water resource problems in the New York State and the nation. This seminar series brings together researchers who work with NYSWRI and state agency partners to support and improve water management in the state. Speakers will present on a broad range of water related topics including water engineering and infrastructure, climate and flood resilience, water quality monitoring and assessment and aquatic ecosystems. The seminar will focus on ways in which robust science can support and influence on-ground management and policy outcomes, and center collaborative and interdisciplinary work between academics, water resource scientists, educators, managers, and policymakers in New York State.
Applied Water Research in New York State Spring 2026 Seminar Series will be held every Thursday at 2:30PM ET from January 22 - March 5, 2026.
Speaker: Kaeti Stoss (RIT) w/introduction by Emily Fell (NYSDEC & NYSWRI)
Building on the past success of Day in the Life programming (NYSDEC Day in the Life) the Day in the Life of Oswego River-Finger Lakes project expanded the Day in the Life student summit model into the Oswego River-Finger Lakes watershed by collaborating with Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and regional partners to engage 8 additional teachers and 130 students, hold a training event, develop 6 new equipment bins, assist teachers with field trip planning, develop pre and post Day in the Life lessons, and coordinate additional Day in the Life student summit events with 5 schools located in the watershed.
Discover how NYSDEC, RIT, and Onondaga Nation school are collaborating to co-design curriculum and experiential education to integrate Indigenous and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (ITEK) within the Day in the Life of Oswego River-Finger Lakes initiative, supporting New York's Great Lakes Action Agenda.
