We had a great 2-day workshop for the sophomores at AUC. The first day was in the classroom, where Dr. Donald Huggins and I discussed the biological, chemical, and physical components of watersheds and water quality. Students asked a lot of thoughtful questions. The second day we all went to a river crossing in Simon where we applied all the classroom concepts by filling out a stream evaluation form and measuring the in situ chemistry of the stream. Dr. Huggins even found a dragonfly nymph to demonstrate how they catch prey. Thanks to the University of Kansas for helping with funding and to AUC for hosting us!
