Measurement and Reference Frames in Hydrology, Ecology, and Environmental Law
(Seminar/Conference)
This seminar will explore the evolution of reference frames in hydro-ecology (hydraulics, fish movement, biogeochemistry), and how different measurement techniques have caused the re-conceptualization of reference frames. The seminar will then expand into environmental law, with the notion that U.S. environmental law is just as sensitive to frames of reference as fluid mechanics, cartography, and any other discipline that studies natural phenomena, and that the assumed reference frame predetermines how we conceive of environmental problems and solutions far more than we realize. The emergence of novel measurement technologies will not only change hydro-ecology, but has the potential to invert accepted applications of environmental law.
