National Science Foundation, Healthy Urban Waters

Ron Henderson is an invited contributor to the Healthy Urban Waters symposium funded by the National Science Foundation. The goals of the workshop, hosted by University of Wisconsin-Madison, are:

(1) To present needs and opportunities for research and development to improve Great Lakes Basin urban waterfront environments though the integration of green infrastructure, living shoreline, and aquatic habitat restoration best practices.

(2) To create research and practice networks around the goal of integrating the emerging sustainable urban systems of the Energy/ Water/ Food nexus, to address barriers to innovation and extend best practices and multidisciplinary initiatives for Great Lakes Basin shoreline communities.
