Prof. Brian Yellen (Dept. of Earth Geographic and Climate Sciences) journeys back in time through the Amethyst Brook Conservation Area to reveal the dynamism of watersheds and how waterways ‘downstream’ shape the landscapes and ecosystems where we live. Joined by poets, fiction writers, geologists, geographers, visual artists, and musicians, this workshop explores the long-histories of human and non-human engagements with water and its transforming power in the arts, industry, natural world, and cultural imaginations.
