Protecting Our Pristine Waters: Understanding Threats to Minnesota's Freshwater
Presented by Amelia Wilson-Jackson, Graduate Student, University of Minnesota, Earth and Environmental Sciences Department (previously at St. Croix Watershed Research Station)
Presentation Overview
Pristine clean water is central to our identity as Minnesotans. This presentation will address the threats to water quality across the state focusing on three key issues: harmful algal blooms in the Superior National Forest, the new aquatic invader Didymosphenia geminata in North Shore streams, and the impact of road salt on freshwater ecosystems. This presentation is a culmination of much of the work that Amelia completed at the St. Croix Watershed Research Station.
