*Speaker: *Dr. Vivien Taylor, research scientist at Dartmouth College

*Description: *Lake Champlain is a fascinating system to study mercury
because of the variation in biogeochemical properties across its distinct
basins. In this research, Dr. Taylor and her team investigated
concentrations of mercury in game fish across all seven basins of the lake,
compared them to data from previous years, and used stable isotopes of
mercury, carbon and nitrogen to assess the sources and processes driving
mercury bioaccumulation in the lake. They also compared seasonal trends in
mercury in the water column and in zooplankton across the deep and shallow
basins, showing the hypolimnia of the deep basins to be zones of heightened
bioaccumulation.
