Join us for the last research presentation in our fall webinar series.

*Exploring the Response of Legacy Phosphorus and Cyanobacteria Blooms in
Lake Carmi to Whole-Lake Aeration*

*Date/Time:* Wednesday, December 7, 2022 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

*Location*: Zoom (registration required). *REGISTER HERE
<https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_TxAXMDB9TXmADeaZbv8g2Q>*.

*Speaker: *Ashton Kirol, Master's student at the University of Vermont.

*Description: *Lake Carmi was designated a “Lake in Crisis” by the Vermont
Agency of Natural Resources following years of high phosphorus
concentrations and cyanobacteria blooms. In 2019, a whole-lake aeration
system was installed to suppress legacy phosphorus release from the
sediment. Using a combination of high frequency monitoring and
sediment/water sampling, the effects of intervention were observed in near
real time and used to further inform management strategy over multiple
years. While some of the project goals were met, the overall health of the
lake was not improved. I will discuss what changes were observed within the
lake due to aeration,  why the timing of phosphorus release and bloom
activity shifted to earlier in the summer, and future management options.
