The Environmental Chemistry Lab at National Great Rivers specializes in analyses of water, sediment, soil, and plant samples for various research projects. Our primary focus lies in understanding nutrient cycling dynamics and the impacts of land management practices and climate change on water quality and aquatic ecosystems. Researchers are currently engaged in continuously monitoring nutrient concentrations in rivers, streams, and reservoirs in watersheds impacted by intensive agriculture, allowing them to assess changes in nutrient cycling dynamics... Our statewide outreach programs enhance public awareness, address environmental challenges, and promote sustainable watershed management and monitoring strategies. National Great River's partnership with the Natural Resource Conservation Service connects landowners to federal conservation programs that enhance and support natural habitat. Our community science programs, which the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency supports,..
