Fall 2022 Research Webinar Series

We are pleased to announce our Fall 2022 research seminar series!  Each of the four monthly webinars will feature Sea Grant and partner-funded researchers who will discuss their work in the Lake Champlain basin.

Join us each month to learn more about how we impact the health of the lake and the surrounding watershed. These monthly webinars will be available on Zoom from noon to 1pm ET and will cover important topics including the ability for subsurface gravel wetlands to treat stormwater runoff, the connection between legacy phosphorus and cyanobacteria in Lake Carmi, the impacts of cyanobacteria on fish populations, and winter mercury patterns in Lake Champlain.

The presenters will take us through their research process and share exciting new findings then spend the second half of the webinar answering your questions about their work.
