This Wednesday at 4pm, Dr. Melissa Haeffner will be presenting her talk on Sociohydrology For Water Just Futures. Join us on Zoom or at OSU Burt Hall 193.
Melissa Haeffner, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the School of Earth, Environment and Society, Environmental Science and Management area at Portland State University. Her research unifies several research domains that contribute to the knowledge of local politics in watersheds and how they shape urban water infrastructure development in the past, in the present, and under future predictions. Dr. Haeffner's work focuses on “just water” and how social, political, and biophysical factors structure access to water, using the concept of environmental justice to draw attention to issues of fairness and equality in the ways different social groups gain access to natural resources.
