Jefferson Project at Lake George

One of our postdoctoral researchers, Jon Borrelli, is currently running tests on code written to simulate the conditions required for harmful algal blooms to form in Lake George. #lakegeorge #harmfulalgalbloom #research #science #freshwater

Some stream site photos from the point of view of our new research specialist, Megan Corbiere. We are thrilled to welcome her to the Jefferson Project! Here Megan & Mark are checking on one of our #LakeGeorge tributary stations, which measure water flow, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and more.

Over his holiday break, one of our research scientists, Joel Harrison, visited Lake Couchiching, Ontario. He noticed this rather unusual ice! He speculates that perhaps methane production from the sediments produced the interesting patterns in the bubbles.

We had the opportunity to sit down with the Director of the Jefferson Project at Lake George. We discuss the recent findings of algae blooms in Lake George. For the full interview: www.looktvonline.com/the-jefferson-project-interview/ For more information: jeffersonproject.rpi.edu/
