Carbon Cycling Within Freshwater Ecosystems amid a Rapidly Changing World

February 5, 2020 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm +04

AUA-ace-Garabed_Kazanjian-

About the Event: 

The talk is meant to focus on the role aquatic ecosystems play in carbon sequestration and processing. Two major contemporary factors impacting these processes will be analyzed- climate change and increased inflow of nutrients + organic carbon. The talk will conclude by offering a future outlook on managing freshwater ecosystems and policies. Further discussions on the state and problems surrounding freshwater systems in Armenia are encouraged.
