UC ANR Water Webinar Series

Join us for the UC ANR Water Webinar series! Started in 2020, the UC ANR water webinar series provides a virtual platform to get to know water-interested colleagues inside and outside the university, share ideas, build networks, and learn about ongoing and upcoming issues and challenges in California water. The seminar series is organized by UC ANR's Water Program Team, led by Tobias Oker, Ted Grantham, Ali Montazar, and Safeeq Khan.
