SUMMARY: Mountain Lakes as sentinels of change in the northeast - 
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: Available for people not able to attend in person.  Link: Click Here \nSpeakers: Dr. Rachel Hovel and Dr. Julia Daly \nHigh-elevation lakes in the northern Appalachian Mountains are unique in a number of regards: they exist in a\nmore forested landscape than alpine lakes in other mountain ranges\, and they experience fewer direct anthropo\ngenic impacts and colder climatic zones compared to lower-elevation lakes in the northeast. Due to their remote\nnature\, these lakes can help illuminate regional signals in changing climate and atmospheric deposition\, and their\nelevation and size can contribute diversity in lake characteristics across the landscape. In this talk\, we will share\nbackground on a research program on nine lakes in the western Maine mountains\, present long-term trends in\nwater chemistry\, and explore interactions between water chemistry\, temperature\, and biological response. As these\nlakes recover from the impacts of atmospheric deposition of pollutants (“acid rain”)\, new climate conditions are\nshaping seasonality and productivity. Our talk will also discuss the recreational attributes of these lakes\, and share\nopportunities for community science involvement.\nPhoto Credit – Hovel and Daly\n Dr. Rachel Hovel is an aquatic ecologist who studies fishes and invertebrates across a\nrange of freshwater habitats. Major themes of her research include species interactions\,\nthe timing of ecological events\, and biodiversity of species and life histories. In\nparticular\, she is interested in how changes to freshwater environments–especially\nclimate change–influence aquatic organisms and ecosystems. Rachel’s research\ncurrently takes place in the Canadian Arctic and the lakes of Maine.\n Dr. Julia Daly is a geologist at UMF with a focus on geomorphology and climate\nchange. She is broadly interested in the connections between changing climate and the\nsignature of this change in both modern watersheds and the geologic record. An inter\nest in the mountains of western Maine led her to begin collecting data in the mountain\nponds around 2010. In addition to the mountain ponds project\, she works with UMF\nstudents to document changes associated with dam removal in Temple Stream.\n For more information visit www.mainemountainponds.wordpress.com
