Join us for the January 22 research presentation in our spring webinar
series!

*Mercury Bioaccumulation in the Deep and Shallow Basins of Lake Champlain*

*Date/Time:* Thursday, January 22, 2026 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

*Location: *Zoom (registration required). *REGISTER HERE
<https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/ELi7aGI7S7ehRkj1DkjttA#/registration>*

*Speaker:* Dr. Vivien Taylor, Research Associate Professor, Dartmouth
College

*Description: *In LCSG's first spring research webinar, Dr. Vivien Taylor
from Dartmouth College will present her Lake Champlain Basin Program
research findings on mercury concentrations in Lake Champlain. 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.

Participants should expect approximately 30 minutes of presentation, which
will be recorded, followed by a facilitated, 30-minute Q&A period.

Hope to see you there!
