Freshwater, Floods, Fish, and the Future of a Nation

The Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future at Boston University held the Pardee House Seminar, “Freshwater, Floods, Fish, and the Future of a Nation,” on October 22 with approximately 35 BU students, faculty, and other guests in attendance.

Panelists included Irit Altman (Biology, Boston University), Suchi Gopal (Earth & Environment, Boston University), Mauricio Arias (Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University), and Pardee Faculty Fellow Les Kaufman (Biology, BU), who served as moderator. The panelists work together on an interdisciplinary study co-led by Boston University and Conservation International. Their research examines the impacts of human-induced changes to freshwater ecosystems that provide food and livelihoods for a large number of people in the Mekong Delta region of Cambodia.
