Purpose:
The
overall aim of this mini symposium is to expose audiences to the large body of
research investigating the ecological, anthropogenic, and economic consequences
of sea-level rise and water management practices in South Florida. This mini-symposium will host a group of 20
visiting undergraduates from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN, who
are participants in a university funded High Impact Leadership Trip. The purpose of their trip is to see issues
related to South Florida water management and its effects on the natural
Everglades and urban south Florida in the face of future sea level rise. These lectures may serve as a tremendous
opportunity for FIU or other students that may be watching remotely to learn
about these very important South Florida issues.
