Water

Welcome to the Bay Area Environmental STEM Institute's summer workshop for 2021! This workshop is completely online. Our theme for the workshop is Water--a timely topic, given that California is headed into another drought and most of the western U.S. is experiencing severe drought conditions. In this workshop, you will learn about...

1. California water - from watersheds to our faucets

2. Drought - causes and effects from an Earth Systems perspective

3. Water sustainability in California - conservation, recycling, and generation

4. Politics of water in California’s Central Valley

5. How to use specific AGI Earth Science Week resources

Each day of the workshop will consist of topical presentations, active experimentation, collaborative work, and team time. Active experimentation will take place both during and outside of workshop hours, and the results shared with everyone during the workshop.
