Human dependence on freshwater ecosystems is absolute. EARS will prepare graduate students for future careers relevant to freshwater resources through training in environmental science, sensor design & use, and business methods. Data will be disseminated to stimulate K-16 and public interest in environmental science. Development of a diverse research community will be facilitated via a combination of recruitment and ongoing program connections.
