CALMS Webinar: Citizen Science in Watershed Education and Restoration
2021-03-30 14:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago)
With support from YSI, Inc. and the Putah Creek Council, California Lake Management Society is hosting this free webinar on the role of citizen science in watershed stewardship.
Putah Creek Council is a community-based organization that focuses on restoration and education in the Putah Creek watershed. The education programs specifically incorporate elements of citizen science in K-12 programs, as well as in community programs. These elements aim to inform community members and participants about local restoration and conservation topics, as well as help to achieve common goals between partner agencies. Elements of citizen science are incorporated into all watershed education programs as well as through the restoration efforts using a variety of techniques like sampling, monitoring, and data collection.

What Kind of Lake Is That? Putting Maine’s Lakes Into Categories for Better Water Quality Assessments and Protections
2021-02-17 15:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
Maine has thousands of lakes, and all are unique. However, many lakes share traits that help lake managers, watershed organizations, and researchers compare and evaluate them. This is especially important for lake assessments, which often compare a lake’s condition to the condition of reference lakes from minimally-disturbed watersheds. By determining which natural attributes of lakes and their watersheds have the strongest influence on lake condition, we can place lakes into categories that define what the conditions of certain types of lakes should be. These categories will help managers place lake data in the proper context for better evaluation and planning. This talk will be about how lake types were developed for Maine lakes, and how these types may be applied to lake assessment and protection.
Speakers
Jeremy Deeds

Aquatic Ecologist @Maine Department of Environmental Protection
Jeremy Deeds has been an aquatic ecologist for the Lakes Assessment Section of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) since 2014. He has worked on water quality projects in the northeast U.S. over the past 20 years allowing him to build relationships and share research ideas with other experts. A native Mainer, Jeremy grew up fishing and boating on the lakes of Maine and feels fortunate to work on studying and helping to protect them. At DEP, he studies various aspects of Maine lakes, including the measurement of changes in water quality over time and the role of shoreland development in shallow-water habitat quality. He lives in Topsham with his family, who all enjoy getting out on the water as much as possible.

FLMS Virtual Workshop: Algal Identification in the Environment
2021-02-05 07:30 - 11:30 (America/Chicago)
Part 1: Workshop Description: This workshop is designed as an introduction to the general groups of freshwater algae, their ecology and diversity. We will review key features distinguishing the major algal groups: cyanobacteria, chlorophytes, diatoms, dinoflagellates, red algae, euglenophytes, etc. and spend some time looking at specimens under the scope.
Part 2: Workshop Description: This workshop has a special focus on harmful and nuisance algae (focusing on cyanobacteria) in freshwater systems. We will dive into the ecology of both planktonic and benthic members of this group, while identifying major problematic taxa (genera and species). Together, we will identify morphological features that are used in discern these genera. Depending on time, aspects of toxicity and control will also be discussed.

Winter Lake Monitoring: Life and Limnology Under the Ice
2021-02-03 15:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
Are lakes as quiet and lifeless when frozen over as they seem? Join Lakes Environmental Association Research Director Ben Peierls to find out how the traditional view of wintertime lake dormancy is being revised. He will talk about recent winter research, including work at LEA, that has given us a new perspective on annual lake cycles, even as climate warming threatens whether lakes ice over at all. Enjoy a multimedia look at life and water quality under the ice and how we go about measuring that.
Speaker
Dr. Ben Peierls

Research Director @Lakes Environmental Association
Dr. Ben Peierls, Maine Lake Science Center research director, grew up on Long Island, New York and spent many summers visiting family at Sand Pond in Denmark. Ben and his brother maintain a camp on the lake to this day. Since getting a Bachelor’s degree in biology from Cornell University thirty years ago, he has been actively involved as a technician, graduate student, and postdoctoral researcher in aquatic ecosystem research, including studies of lakes, large rivers, and estuaries. His focus has been on phytoplankton, microbial ecology, and general water quality issues, such as eutrophication. Ben received an M.S. and a Ph.D. in marine sciences from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and was involved in the field work and data management for several long-term estuarine monitoring programs. When not studying aquatic systems, he enjoys sailing on and swimming in them, as well as playing ultimate and performing music.

VIRTUAL NALMS 2020 Symposium
2020-11-16 - 2020-11-20
After careful consideration and in consultation with our partners and planning team, NALMS has decided we will not be able to hold our 2020 annual symposium in Minneapolis as planned. Instead we will hold a virtual symposium during those dates in keeping with the best interest of the health and well-being of our attendees, sponsors, exhibitors, and staff.
With the uncertainty of the past several months, we understand that some prospective presenters were not able to submit an abstract for the 2020 conference but may now be interested in participating in a virtual meeting presentation format. We are reopening abstract and special session submissions until July 31.
If you have already submitted an abstract, there is no need to resubmit. We will be in contact with authors to confirm their interest in continued participation.
We are still in the planning stages of this new format, but we expect the program to include:

Plenary sessions with live Q&A.
Daily technical presentations with live Q&A.
“On your own sessions,” view recorded presentations on your timetable and ask the authors questions.
Poster Session with “lightning” presentations.
Talks and posters will be available to attendees on demand during the conference week, no need to miss any talks of interest due to overlapping times.
Daily meet & greet opportunities and a virtual hospitality room.
Virtual exhibits from new and long time NALMS Corporate Members, Affiliates, and Nonprofits.
Virtual Clean Lakes Classic 5K Run/Walk.

Introduction to Statistical Analysis and Machine Learning in R
2020-11-13 08:30 - 16:30 (America/New_York)
This workshop will provide a gentle introduction to the arcane world of R, covering topics useful for those with no prior exposure to the software as well as those interested in learning more advanced applications. This free, open source system for statistical computation and graphics has become the de facto standard for ecologists with more than half of published scientific papers now using the software. Given its flexibility and widespread adoption by the scientific community, R training has broad applicability for environmental scientists and lake managers working in all contexts requiring data management, statistical analysis, and graphical presentation of data. R allows precise documentation of steps taken in data processing in order to provide reproducible results in alignment with the Open Science movement. Graphical user interfaces and integrated development environments now make R much more user friendly for beginners (i.e., more point-and-click and less command line). Users have contributed over 15,000 packages to R, greatly extending its capabilities. Have your laptop handy, if possible, as the workshop will include a hands-on portion.
