From establishing the importance of wetlands to advancing science through the first-ever use of radiocarbon dating, our national parks have been home to a number of landmark scientific studies.
In this virtual Watershed Moments Community Learning event, Dr. Tim Watkins, Science Access and Engagement Coordinator with the National Park Service, shares stories of the notable research that has taken place in the parks and provides details of the ongoing Parks in Science History project, a collaborative initiative that has engaged graduate students from American University and institutions in the University System of Maryland to write articles and produce films about these notable studies and the parks in which they took place.
