New paper from the MSc thesis of no-Twitter Eric Huber showing #roadsalt #pollution could change the vertical movement rate of some zooplankton. His work also illustrates some interesting interactions with predatory stress. Lake Erie Center UToledo NSM sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

UToledo's Lake Erie Center enables students to study harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie. They monitor water near Toledo's intake to detect toxic algae approaching the city's drinking water source. ➡️ myut.link/ecosystems

Thanks to Dr. Hintz for presenting to the MAAC on road salt’s impacts on animal and plant life in the #GreatLakes. Last year @Utoledo @LakeErieCenter TMACOG & PCS began a project to help municipalities adjust salt use, to keep roads safe while reducing harm to fresh water

The University of Toledo researcher Trisha Spanbauer, #UToledo Env Sciences & Lake Erie Center, is leading a project funded by Ohio Sea Grant to explore how human shoreline activity impacts communities of microbes on the coast of Lake Erie’s #WesternBasin. #OhioSeaGrant: bit.ly/3OWrVRz

Another day another buoy... this buoy is headed out tomorrow to #LakeErie to track the bloom. It's a collaborative effort with Cleveland Water Alliance Lake Erie Center Freeboard Technology LimnoTech to get out more high quality buoys. Data will be available here limno.io/stations/

More great research taking place in the lab of Dr. Trisha Spanbauer, The University of Toledo Lake Erie Center! Dr. Spanbauer is just one of the amazing faculty members at #UToledo researching #waterquality & #algalblooms in #LakeErie & the #GreatLakes! #UToledoNSM #UToledoRocketScience

#CIGLRScienceFriday #PhotoFriday 📸: The 2023 #HABs season is underway. 1 way #CIGLR & NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory scientists monitor #HABs is by completing weekly sampling cruises @ 8 stations in #LakeErie's western basin, each @ varying depth & location. 🛥️🌊 More: ciglr.seas.umich.edu/project/harmfu…

Research technician Kristina Flanigan Lake Erie Center was out on the Maumee River this week looking for eggs of invasive grass carp, instead she rescued a kitty from the #MaumeeRiver. The Mayer Lab The University of Toledo has found some interesting things in rivers before, but this is a first!

Recently, Drs. Bridgeman, Hintz & Mayer hosted a group of high school students The University of Toledo Lake Erie Center who are participating in the #ZOOTeen program Toledo Zoo. We love seeing our local high school students so interested in the research that happens in our community! #UToledo

Did you know … the Lake Erie Center is The University of Toledo's freshwater research and educational facility located adjacent to Maumee Bay State Park? Take a recent tour given to us by Dr. Tom Bridgeman⬇️ #UToledo #LakeErie #MaumeeBay #UToledoResearch #UToledoNSM #WaterQualityResearch

Encouraging news for US lakes. New study finds if we hold steady or decrease road salt use, chloride levels in many lakes could stabilize below U.S. EPA thresholds. ASLO (Limnology & Oceanography Letters) Chris Solomon Hilary Dugan Bill Hintz Stuart E. Jones caryinstitute.org/news-insights/…

We had a great time doing an electrofishing demonstration for Whitmer High School students yesterday at Maumee Bay State Park. Thanks to Whitmer teacher, Jeff MacKenzie, for bringing the students out and to Eric Weimer from ODNR for his help.

Looking for an exciting class this fall? Consider Aquatic Ecology (EEES 4730) and Lab (EEES 4740). Join us and learn to collect samples from Lake Erie, deploy sampling equipment from a small boat, hook up a boat trailer, and set up experiments.

Our very own, Dr. Christine Mayer, makes her predictions on this season's mayfly hatch: 13abc.com/2024/05/14/ret…

New publication investigating how fish swimming behavior in rivers might allow them to devote more energy to growth, which facilitates survival and ultimately population size.

Bob Mapes, crew leader for the grass carp removal project, shows an invasive goldfish and common carp to students at an ODNR event last week. The students learned about electrofishing, which uses electrical current to stun fish so that they can be safely collected and studied.

A well-rounded ecosystem is supported by the bugs. An associate professor for the University of Toledo's Department of Environmental Science explains. wtol.com/article/news/l…

"Obviously they can be a nuisance when you know they get caught up near cars and lamp-posts and windows and things like that and they kind of go 'crunch crunch crunch' under your feet," says Bill Hintz. "But this phenomenon is critically important to the Lake Erie ecosystem."

“Mayflies on the move...” ICYMI, Dr. Bill Hintz, associate professor The University of Toledo Dept of Environmental Science, spoke with WTOL 11 about the important role mayflies play in the health of our water: bit.ly/4aADzJ0 Lake Erie Center #UToledo #LakeErie
