Mountain Lakes as Sentinels of Change in the Northeast
2024-11-13 19:00 - 20:00 | Thomas Auditorium, UMF Ricker and Preble Hall
Western Maine Audubon is proud to present its third and final Fall 2024 talk on Wednesday, November 13 at 7:00 pm. The talk will be presented by Dr. Rachel Hovel, UMF associate professor of biology, and Dr. Julia Daly, UMF professor of geology, in Thomas Auditorium in UMF’s Preble Hall at 173 High Street in Farmington. High-elevation lakes in the northern Appalachian Mountains are unique in several regards: they exist in a more forested landscape than alpine lakes in other mountain ranges, and they experience fewer direct anthropogenic impacts and colder climatic zones compared to lower- elevation lakes in the northeast. Due to their remote nature, these lakes can help illuminate regional signals in changing climate and atmospheric deposition, and their elevation and size can contribute diversity in lake characteristics across the landscape. In this talk, Drs. Hovel and Daly will share background on a research program on nine lakes in the western Maine mountains, present long-term trends in water chemistry, and explore interactions between water chemistry, temperature, and biological response.
Location: Preble Hall at 173 High Street in Farmington, FREE, Open to the Public, Sponsored by; Western Maine Audubon and Co-Sponsored by; UMF student chapter of The Wildlife Society, Contact Donelle Schwalm, Donelle.schwalm@maine.edu
