In anticipation of the release of the book "<em>A Watershed Year: Anatomy of the Iowa Floods of 2008</em>", the Center for Global and Regional Environmental Research is organizing a program to highlight the book’s publication and to focus attention on the challenges ahead as we better prepare for the floods of the future. The event will take place at the Iowa State Historical Building, Des Moines, Iowa. Visit http://www.cgrer.uiowa.edu/calendar/2010/01/03092010.htm or contact Joe Bolkom for complete details.
