HRES Poster Abstract Submission

IMPACTS of TROPICAL STORMS IRENE and LEE on the HUDSON RIVER
September 19, 2012, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Millbrook, NY

The Hudson River Environmental Society (HRES) is organizing a conference on the impacts of tropical storms Irene and Lee on the Hudson River. These storms hit the Hudson Valley on August 27/28, 2011 and September 8, 2011 respectively. Combined they dropped an estimated 12-18 inches of rainfall and disrupted many lives in the Hudson Valley, Catskills and beyond.

HRES is soliciting abstracts from graduate and undergraduate students, environmental monitoring groups, and scientists for a poster session during the conference from 3:15 to 5:30. Applicable topics can include (but are by no means limited to): meteorology and hydrology of the storms, sediment transported by the storms, impacts on Hudson River biology, watershed and tributary impacts, and impacts to other river systems including the Connecticut and Susquehanna.

********** ALL ABSTRACTS ARE DUE BY AUGUST 28 **********
All abstracts will be published in the conference program.
