Steven Thomas, a professor of river and stream ecology at UNL, was part of an international, interdisciplinary research team that spent four years working to understand how strategic planning can reduce the impact of hydropower development on the entire Amazon River basin. That reseach is the basis of a new article in Science. Thomas took this photo of Alex Flecker, left, and Suresh Suthi, both of Cornell University, on a visit to South America during the course of the research. Flecker, Suthi
