Lakes in our landscape: perspectives from a large-scale sampling program

While there are many local and regional sampling efforts in lakes across the U.S., it is often difficult to compile this information into a cohesive framework to make national-scale conclusions. To address this gap, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency partners with States and Tribes to implement the National Lakes Assessment, which is a national-scale, coordinated lake sampling program. The resulting data include colocated biological, chemical, habitat, and human use measures that are available to the scientific community.
Dr. Amina Pollard, Lawrence class of 1995, will provide a brief overview of the project and discuss some of the ways the results have been used to better understand lakes.
