Today’s Menu: Freshwater Faces A Saltier Future

Today’s Menu: Freshwater Faces A Saltier Future

Friday, January 30 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM

Our freshwater streams and rivers are quietly changing—and salt is a growing part of the story. From winter road treatments to rising seas, salinity levels are increasing across the Chesapeake Bay region, posing new risks to water quality and ecosystem health.

In this free lunchtime webinar, you’ll explore how freshwater systems are experiencing salinity pressure from both land and sea, what these changes mean for streams, drinking water, and the Bay, and why anticipating salinity impacts now is key to preventing long-term water quality problems.

Guest Presenter:

Sujay S. Kaushal, PhD
Professor, University of Maryland
A leading researcher on land use and climate impacts on water resources, freshwater salinization, urban watersheds, and watershed restoration.

There is no cost for this webinar.
