Our new host, Dr. Gabe Filippelli, the Chancellor’s Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Executive Director of the Indiana University Environmental Resilience Institute, will take us through five new conversations about the most pressing issues facing Indiana’s water resources. This includes a look at the findings from the recent White River Report Card, the state of our wetlands and the regulations meant to protect them, climate change and flooding, emerging contaminants, and, finally, how planning is integral to safeguarding our water future.
Join us to learn why water seems to be on everyone’s mind from the state house to our universities and beyond.
