The presentation will focus on research data and results from the research project “Upwelling in Lake Champlain’s South Main Lake,” which is funded by Lake Champlain Sea Grant and administered by SUNY-Plattsburgh. The research aims to a) 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 and b) help to understand our progress toward cleaner water in Lake Champlain and the potential for climate change to compromise those efforts.
Eric Leibensperger is an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Ithaca College’s School of Humanities and Science. He specializes in environmental physics, climate change, and air quality.
Participants should expect approximately 30 minutes of presentation, which will be recorded, followed by a facilitated, 30-minute Q&A period.
