Topic — Greener and Drier: How the Great Plains' Waters Are Changing
Speaker — Dr. Amy Burgin

From salty lakes to disappearing streams, the Great Plains is home to some of the most extreme and fascinating aquatic ecosystems in North America.

This talk explores how climate shifts, land use changes, and human management are transforming lakes, wetlands, and rivers—and why these changes matter for water quality, biodiversity, and the future of our landscapes. Join us to discover why the Great Plains is a surprisingly great place to study water.
