The Little Brook that Changed the World: How NH's Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study Shapes Environmental Policy and Practice, From Acid Rain to Climate Change
A presentation by Anthea Lavallee
Established in 1955 by the U.S. Forest Service in the White Mountains of NH, Hubbard Brook brings together scientific teams from more than 25 universities and research institutions. Together they explore the relationships among Hubbard Brook's plants, animals, air, water, and soils. Anthea will share key Hubbard Brook discoveries including acid rain and climate change consequences. Long-term ecosystem studies have the power to reveal otherwise imperceptible patterns, trends, irregularities, and environmental solutions. Anthea will make connections between Hubbard Brook research and our economy, ecology, culture, and quality of life as citizens of the Northern Forest.
As the Executive Director of the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation, Anthea Lavallee has a front row seat for one of the most dynamic and influential ecosystem studies in the world. In this role she strives to create a culture of environmental awareness that is scholarly and practical; reality-based and creative; equitable, actionable, and hopeful.
