Prof. Arnold to present at water resources conference

Professor Tony Arnold will give three different presentations at the Universities Council on Water Resources (UCOWR) annual conference June 21-23, 2016, in Pensacola Beach, Fla.

UCOWR is an interdisciplinary consortium of universities and researchers focused on water resources. The University of Louisville is an institutional member of UCOWR, and Arnold is the university's lead delegate to UCOWR.

He will present research results from three of his research projects on improving water governance: overcoming barriers to diverse public participation in watershed governance, adaptive water planning for resilience and transdisciplinary insights from the National Science Foundation-funded Adaptive Water Governance project.

Alexandra Chase, a 2015 graduate of Brandeis Law and former graduate research assistant for Arnold, will be speaking on her work on aquaculture regulation at UCOWR. Chase has a post-doctoral fellowship at the National Sea Grant Law Center, which is housed at the University of Mississippi. She was also a co-investigator with Arnold for the project on overcoming barriers to diverse public participation in watershed governance, which received a grant from the U.S. Geological Survey.

Arnold also spoke on adaptive water planning for resilience at the Sustainability Legal Educators' Conference at Arizona State University in May.
