New publications this week from collaborations

We had a couple of new papers come out this week.  One is from our North-Watch project, which is a collaborative project aimed at predicting the integrated consequences of climate change on the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water resources in experimental watersheds in sensitive northern climates. The other paper is from an education project …
