TROPICAL RIVERS LAB

Collaborative, place-based, curiosity and need driven science

Our science explores the natural history of and the interconnectedness of people to tropical freshwater systems. We are committed to working with multidisciplinary teams and diverse communities to generate science that supports environmental policy and new conservation frontiers.

In the field

 

The Tropical Rivers Lab at FIU explores the natural history of tropical river systems, aiming to increase scientific knowledge of the importance of a river’s flow to humans and ecosystems and then apply that knowledge to freshwater conservation and management. From South Florida to the Amazon Basin to East Africa, our team has active projects and collaboration networks across the world.
