During the next nine months, the University at Albany will present a series of six forums on critical issues concerning the Hudson River.
All forums are free and open to the public.
Future topics in the series will include changes in the Hudson River Valley environment and the future of the Hudson as an ecological, aesthetic, recreational and economic resource. Their goal is to promote better use of scientific research in policies affecting the quality and use of the Hudson River. Each meeting will be designed to encourage lively dialog between the audience and the presenters. According to the series organizers, the Forums will take a balanced approach to the discussion of important Hudson River issues. Special emphasis will be given to the relation between science and public policy.
