Understanding Our Winter Watershed LiveStream
Winters in the Connecticut River watershed are evolving as our climate continues to change. Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC) and guest speakers Matt Devine and Jamie Shanley joined for an hour-long LiveStream webinar, “Understanding our Winter Watershed.”
During this LiveStream, we took a deeper look below our winter river’s surface and at our watershed’s holistic dynamics. We learned about the shifts in the river’s ecology throughout the colder, winter months, while also examining how climate change and changes in snowpack are impacting our watershed. Finally, CRC’s Lab and Monitoring Coordinator, Melissa Langley, will help us anchor into CRC water quality and chloride monitoring program efforts.
This webinar offers a fresh look at winter as an active and essential season for our rivers that can tell us a lot about change.
Speakers:
Jamie Shanley – Research Hydrologist, United States Geologic Survey New England
Matt Devine – Fisheries Biologist, CT DEEP Fisheries Division
Melissa Langley – Lab and Monitoring Coordinator, Connecticut River Conservancy
Recorded on 2/25/26
