This past Saturday, we held our last talk and walk of our Water Side series! Dr. Keith Jennings introduced the group to the history of snow monitoring in Vermont and afterwards, participants accompanied us to our snow monitoring infrastructure along Ranch Brook.

While it was quite the opposite of a winter wonderland, we had a magical walk in the woods! Attendees learned about all the various instrumentation we use to collect data, as well as the importance of stream monitoring in this watershed.

A big thank you to everyone who participated in this series and joined us all around Vermont to learn about the research UVM is conducting!

Harmful algal blooms are a growing threat to water quality, ecosystems, and public health, particularly in small ponds where traditional monitoring can be challenging.

New research by Keith Jennings, PhD, along with colleagues from Lynker and University of Colorado Boulder, explored whether satellite-based remote sensing can serve as an alternative to traditional field sampling for monitoring algal growth. Their findings suggest that while remote sensing can effectively track broad bloom patterns, it also has important limitations.
