SUMMARY:Potential impact of fireworks  on lakes and other waters
DESCRIPTION:Each year in the U.S.\, hundreds of millions of pounds of fireworks are used\, releasing perchlorate—a key fireworks ingredient and a known drinking water contaminant—into the environment. Perchlorate can disrupt thyroid function\, and studies have shown that fireworks can elevate perchlorate levels in nearby surface and groundwater. \nDr. Andrew Jackson from Texas Tech University will be leading this interesting topic. He will explore how fireworks may affect drinking water sources by examining field studies\, aerial deposition measurements\, and national water surveys conducted before and after major fireworks events. And he’ll discuss how factors such as the amount of fireworks used\, waterbody size\, dilution capacity\, direct deposition\, runoff\, and natural attenuation influence perchlorate levels and potential risks to water quality. \nThis free webinar is from noon to 1 pm on June 4.

SUMMARY:10th annual WAPOA AIS Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Join us on June 6 in Crosslake for the 10th Annual Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Roundtable\, proudly co-hosted by the Whitefish Area Property Owners Association (WAPOA) and the Crow Wing County Lakes and Rivers Alliance (LARA)\, in conjunction with researchers from the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC). \nMinnesota lakes are being impacted by more non-native AIS species while we are working to protect our natural waters\, our shoreline areas\, and expand the science and education about AIS. Starry Stonewort is in the Whitefish Chain and Middle Cullen Lake. Zebra mussels are in 378 Minnesota lakes. What happens next is up to all of us. \nAttendees will hear the latest on aquatic invasive species research\, including research on how AIS may influence swimmer’s itch and low-dose copper treatments for zebra mussels\, presented by graduate students Olivia Nyffeler and Amanda Schuermann. Director Nick Phelps will share insights on AIS prevention\, while MAISRC researcher Ingrid Schneider will discuss emerging research on autonomous underwater robots (AUVs) as her team investigates mystery snails across Minnesota. \nRegistration is free but required—sign up at z.umn.edu/registrationWAPOA
