</p><div>At this meetup, EEOB PhD candidate Gary Qin will present on <b>Using QGIS in freshwater health assessment of the Santa Ana River Watershed.</b></div><div style="margin-left:40px">The Santa Ana River Watershed is one of the largest and most urbanized 
watersheds in Southern California. The challenges the watershed faces in
 maintaining proper ecosystem functioning and supplying crucial 
ecosystem services to its inhabitants require assessments and solutions 
that consider ecological, hydrological, and social measures of 
freshwater health. A study was conducted to establish a baseline 
assessment of freshwater health in the watershed, which can be used in 
follow-up assessments and scenario analysis. This talk will outline how 
QGIS and geospatial analyses were utilized in the assessment to provide 
context, visualize spatial variation, and explore potential solutions 
for sustaining freshwater health in the watershed. </div><div><i>Gary Qin is a sixth-year Ph.D. candidate in Evolution, Ecology, and 
Organismal Biology at UC Riverside. Before beginning his graduate 
studies, he received a B.S. in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation 
Biology and a B.A. in English Language and Literature from the 
University of Washington. He is currently advised by Dr. Helen Regan and
 Dr. Kurt Anderson, and his dissertation focuses on freshwater 
biodiversity and ecosystem service delivery in California.</i></div>
