Webinar series highlights eDNA methods, applications for environmental monitoring

The California Water Quality Monitoring Council and its partners have launched a six-part webinar series to educate managers and other interested parties on how environmental DNA (eDNA) methods can be incorporated into a range of environmental monitoring applications.

The webinars, organized by SCCWRP’s Dr. Susanna Theroux, provide an overview of eDNA-based methods and their application in bioassessment, harmful algal bloom monitoring, species surveillance, pathogen detection and data analysis/bioinformatics. The first three webinars were held in February, March and June.

Recordings and materials from the first three webinars are available online. The remaining three webinars have not yet been scheduled.
