SUMMARY:Freshwater Science: Monitoring New Contaminants in Public Drinking Water Sources
DESCRIPTION:Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs)\, including antibiotics\, are emerging contaminants in water that are not completely eliminated during water treatment. Because these compounds can affect human and wildlife health\, it’s important to assess their presence in drinking and wastewater. \nDr. Jen Mou and Dr. Laura Leff at Kent State University are developing new methods to detect these compounds\, to help guide approaches for dealing with contaminants like them in the future. The team also wants to determine if the presence of a bacterial gene that codes for antibiotic resistance can predict levels of antibiotic contamination in water samples. \nThe webinar is free\, but registration is required to receive log-in information. \nEvent website: https://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/news/calendar/2022/11/15/glnre/freshwater-science\nContact: Christina Dierkes\, Outreach Specialist\, Ohio Sea Grant\nEmail: dierkes.10@osu.edu

SUMMARY:Freshwater Science: Evaluating Interventions for Harmful Algal Blooms in Grand Lake St. Mary’s
DESCRIPTION:Alum application is sometimes used to treat or prevent harmful algal blooms in inland lakes such as Ohio’s Grand Lake St. Mary’s\, which experiences severe harmful algal blooms similar to Lake Erie’s western basin. But a 2021 Wright State University study suggests that the benefits\, if any\, of alum application and other interventions are short-lived. \nDr. Mark McCarthy\, who led the project\, suggests that climate change and external nitrogen inputs play a larger role in the persistence and severity of algal blooms in these lakes. \nThe webinar is free\, but registration is required to receive log-in information. \nEvent website: https://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/news/calendar/2023/01/25/v01av/freshwater-science\nContact: Jill Jentes\, jentes.1@osu.edu

SUMMARY:Continuing Archaeological Research on the Alpena-Amberly Ridge
DESCRIPTION:Check out the latest in the Sanctuary Lecture Series! \nThe discovery of ancient caribou hunting structures preserved beneath Lake Huron has transformed our understanding of the early human occupation of the Great Lakes. Since the initial discovery of the Alpena-Amberly Ridge\, research has focused on broadening our understanding of these early hunters and the environment in which they lived. Join Dr. John O’Shea\, the Curator of Great Lakes Archaeology at the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology and Professor in the Department of Anthropology\, as he provides an update on the exciting results of these new multi-disciplinary research efforts. \nEvent website: https://thunderbay.noaa.gov/\nContact: Stephanie Gandulla\, Resource Protection Coordinator\, NOAA Thunder Bay NMS\nEmail: Steph.Gandulla@noaa.gov \nPhone: (989) 312-3579

SUMMARY:Freshwater Science: Turning Dredged Sediments into Farm Soil Nutrient Supplements
DESCRIPTION:Dredging is essential to keeping Lake Erie harbors open and working\, but disposal of the dredged sediment can be problematic. Between the nutrients and other pollutants the sediment can carry\, and the murky water disposal can cause\, open-lake disposal of dredged sediments is prohibited in Ohio as part of an effort to prevent harmful algal blooms. \nDr. Angelica Vazquez Ortega at Bowling Green State University is examining whether integrating dredged sediments from Ohio harbors into farm soil could improve corn crop yields and overall soil health while also keeping those sediments out of land-based containment areas. \nThe webinar is free\, but registration is required to receive log-in information. \nEvent website: https://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/news/calendar/2023/02/27/twnqt/freshwater-science\nContact: Jill Jentes\, jentes.1@osu.edu
