Fall 2008 Lecture Patrick J. Mulholland, Ph.D.
Aquatic Ecologist
Oak Ridge National Laboratory Friday,
November 7, 2008 Dr. Mulholland is an aquatic ecologist in the Carbon and
Nutrient Biogeochemistry Group at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His
research interests include ecology of streams, biogeochemistry and land/water
interactions in forested catchments, watershed hydrology, wetland and
riparian ecosystems, and climate change effects on freshwater ecosystems Additional
scheduling and program information will be available early in Fall 2008. |
