| Greetings!
It's hard to believe it, but the 2010-2011 academic year is rapidly coming to a close! We have a handful of diverse, invigorating events happening in the weeks before finals are upon us, and I hope that you, our community, can find time to relax, reflect, and enjoy our offerings.
Warmly,

Pub Night: Restoring the Ballona Wetlands, Improving Water Quality
|
You are invited to the fourth and final evening in the library's spring Pub Night lineup.
Natural Science Professor John Dorsey has been engaged in water quality research within the lower Ballona Creek Watershed, including studies within Ballona Wetlands, Estuary and Creek, and in Del Rey Lagoon. In the final Pub Night presentation of the year, he will describe how his studies have demonstrated the ability of wetland process to cleanse contaminated water entering from the Ballona Creek/Estuary system, and how he's predicting that planned restoration actions could further enhance the quality of water flowing to adjacent recreational beaches in Santa Monica Bay. This event is free, and open to all! Pub snacks and refreshments will be served. Tuesday April 5 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. Von der Ahe Family Suite (Library Level 3)
