About The Event
In these two presentations, the 7 Lakes Alliance lake science team will share their research conducted on lakes outside the watershed. These presentations will be held in person at the 7 Lakes Alliance building, and on Zoom (Zoom link below).
5:00 PM - "Modeling the impact of changing water clarity on lake stratification" by Dr. Danielle Wain, Lake Science Director at 7 Lakes Alliance
Water clarity plays an integral role in how lakes stratify, with impacts on parameters like the depth of the thermocline and length of the stratification season. To understand how different lakes respond to changes in water clarity, which may result from increased runoff or algal growth, we modeled 50 lakes across Maine (including Great Pond and Long Pond) to understand how sensitive different types of lakes are to these changes.
5:45 PM - "The influence of dissolved organic carbon on algae community and distribution in Maine…
