However, mercury bioavailability and transfer through the food chain during the winter is understudied compared to other seasons&nbsp;despite its potential sensitivity to climate change and importance to environmental health risks. This seminar compared mercury bioavailability and bioaccumulation patterns in Lake Champlain basins across seasons from the team&#8217;s field research. They also discussed the implications of these patterns for fish consumption risks, including unique risks to subsistence anglers.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This webinar is part of the Lake Champlain Sea Grant Research Seminar Series; it took place on November 16, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Research Webinar: Winter Mercury Patterns in Lake Champlain and Future Environmental Health Risks\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wBClXd9m4KU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Roxanne Karimi is an environmental health scientist with expertise in mercury, other heavy metals, and important nutrients at the intersection of aquatic ecosystems and human health.
