| Upcoming Seminars Upwelling in Lake Champlain’s South Main Lake: Identifying Events and Assessing Impacts |
| Date/Time: Wednesday, November 17, 2021 – 12:00pm to 1:00pm ET Location: Virtual attendance on Zoom Speaker: Eric Leibensperger, assistant professor at Ithaca College Description: This research aims to help managers better understand the consequences of policy decisions while also shedding light on physical processes (upwelling) that are not controllable and may be modified by a changing climate. Findings will help to understand our progress toward cleaner water in Lake Champlain and the potential for climate change to compromise those efforts.

| Cyanobacteria Bloom Impacts on Fish: Ecological and Human Health Considerations |
| Date/Time: Wednesday, December 15, 2021 – 12:00pm to 1:00pm ET Location: Virtual attendance on Zoom Speaker: Natalie Flores, PhD candidate, University of Vermont Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources Description: Ongoing research at a nutrient-impaired lake in Vermont investigates how cyanobacteria blooms affect the nutritional quality of fish in terms of their lipid composition and potential to accumulate toxins. This seminar will highlight the research questions, preliminary results, and what the results could mean for aquatic ecosystems and human health.
