Dr. Cameron Thrash returns to the OAR Northwest Education webinar this season to discuss microbial community composition changes across river tributaries, and its effects on the Mississippi River and greater communities. Early findings are derived from wet samples taken by last year’s expedition crew during Adventure: Mississippi River 2014.
