Media mention: ‘Impact of Climate on River Chemistry Across the United States’
July 26, 2022
Where: Eos, “Impact of Climate on River Chemistry Across the United States”
Who: Li Li, professor of civil and environmental engineering
What: A project led by Li Li, professor of civil and environmental engineering in the Penn State College of Engineering, was highlighted in Eos, a science news magazine. The project studied how the long-term chemistry of rivers in the contiguous United States is affected by climate. By looking at the concentration of 16 solutes, researchers found that river discharge is the primary influence on river chemistry, followed by the abundance of local materials in the water.
