Harmful algal blooms are a common water quality and public health concern in Lake Erie and the smaller Ohio Lakes. Algae can act as a source, sink, and transformer of organic matter in aquatic environments, giving them a complex relationship with the overall carbon budgets of lentic ecosystems. The School of Earth Sciences will host Dr. Rachel Gabor from the School of Environment and Natural Resources, highlighting two projects investigating the relationship between organic matter and algal blooms in Ohio.
