You can find Wildlife & Water Lab’s newest paper, published in Water Resources Research, at this link.

This synthesis explores how water research can directly contribute to solving the global biodiversity crisis by aligning key disciplines at the interface of water resources and conservation biology.

The paper bridges fields of study including ecohydrology (studying water-ecosystem interactions), environmental flows (maintaining river health), and Integrated Water Resources Management. Better integration of these fields provides opportunity for impactful research in applied hydrology that can advance implementation of Nature-based Solutions.

The research highlights critical opportunities for collaboration between water scientists and conservation biologists and the conceptual developments and analytical lenses necessarily to bridge disciplinary siloes.
