Organization:Beacon Institute for Rivers & Estuaries
Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries, Clarkson University, with offices in City of Beacon, is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit environmental research organization focusing on real-time monitoring of river ecosystems.
The Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries is Clarkson’s Hudson Valley campus. Located on Dennings Point in Beacon, NY, the campus’s concept was conceived in 2000, and the site was selected three years later. Today, this state-of-the-art technical facility just north of New York City serves as an introduction to the surrounding park and as a research institute striving to develop more sustainable water solutions that preserve estuaries and other freshwater ecosystems in the state and beyond. This mission is achieved through the efforts of our faculty and staff and K-12 and public programming.
Mission
The Beacon Institute aims to draw awareness to issues involving estuaries and freshwater ecosystems through community-focused science, user-inspired research and development and broader education. Collaboration and innovation shape each aspect of our mission.
