6-7:15 p.m. Presentation, Q&A
In his talk, Herzog will explore research he’s conducting across Central Oregon that is attempting to address water quality and habitat for salmon, steelhead and other wildlife. Herzog is conducting projects on Whychus Creek, the Upper Crooked River and Thirtymile Creek, an important tributary of the John Day River, as well as on tributaries in Arizona and California.
Herzog will also invite reflection on what successful restoration looks like — and how communities seek common ground in caring for local rivers when restoration visions diverge.
Herzog’s research projects span forested, agricultural, urban and wastewater-dominated watersheds as he works with water practitioners, stakeholders and regulators to translate scientific results into practical management solutions.
The Science Pub will take place from 5:30 to 7:15 p.m. in the Charles McGrath Family Atrium in Edward J. Ray Hall at OSU-Cascades. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for networking and dining with the presentation to follow at 6 p.m.
Registration is required and on-campus parking is free.
The event is $22 per person, which includes a light, pub-style, pre-lecture dinner. The no-host bar will offer beer, wine, cider and soft drinks.
