Over the coming months, Princeton Hydro is teaching courses and presenting at a variety of conferences that explore topics ranging from wetland restoration to cyanotoxins to dam removal:
Our Vice President Mark Gallagher, along with Founding Principal and Consultant Dr. Steve Souza, is teaching an applied wetland ecology graduate course at Temple University. The 17-week spring semester course, which includes weekly lectures as well as field trips, will provide students with an opportunity to study real-world examples of wetland and riparian restoration and the integration of wetland ecology and restoration design within the context of green infrastructure.
Students will gain an increased understanding of the ecological functions of wetland and riparian ecosystems; be introduced to the principles of applied ecology as related to wetland and riparian ecosystem restoration; learn about the application of wetland ecology in landscape restoration and enhancement projects; get hands-on experience with how to use green infrastructure techniques in urban and suburban settings to control and abate stormwater impacts; and learn about related state and federal rules and regulations.

Beginning January 22, Dr. Fred Lubnow, our Director of Aquatic Programs, is teaching a spring semester “Watershed Management” course at Delaware Valley University. Through hands-on laboratory exercises and engaging lectures, the course provides participants with the foundational skills needed to understand the concepts and terminology of hydrologic processes and watersheds. The concepts and processes include evapotranspiration, soil water, infiltration, runoff, and stream flow. Students will also develop skills in environmental awareness, ecological awareness, and land stewardship, which will help them understand the key processes involved in managing watershed resources sustainably.
Every two years, the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary holds a summit that focuses on developing practical solutions to challenges facing our tidal Delaware River and Bay. This year, the theme is Estuary 2029: Saving Our System Through Collaboration. Our Communications Strategist, Dana Patterson, is presenting “Strategic Science Communication & Stakeholder Engagement in the Delaware Estuary” during the Strategic Science Communication Session on Monday, January 28th.
This two-day conference covers a wide range of topics such as invasive aquatic plant identification and eradication, harmful algal blooms (HABS), case studies of publicly funded projects and stewardship programs, management or remediation techniques, habitat or fishery improvement, and chemical application techniques. Core and category credits are available for professional chemical applicators for many of the presentations. We’re proud to sponsor this conference year after year. Dr. Fred Lubnow, Princeton Hydro’s Director of Aquatic Programs, is giving a presentation about utilizing a watershed implementation plan to address both the external and internal phosphorus loads for Lake Carey, Pennsylvania.
