July 5 Stone Lab Guest Lecture Features Ohio State’s School of Environment and Natural Resources

12:00 pm, Tue July 3, 2018 – Stone Lab’s annual Guest Lecture Series covers a range of topics related to the Lake Erie environment

Gibraltar Island Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Lab, The Ohio State University’s island campus on Lake Erie, are hosting Dr. Jeff Sharp, director of the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University for Stone Lab’s July 5 Guest Lecture. Sharp will present “50 Years of Environmental and Natural Resource Education at The Ohio State University… Looking to the Next 50.”

The evening will start with a research brief at 7 p.m., where Dr. Rachel Gabor, assistant professor in the School of Environment and Natural Resources, will present “Watersheds and sewersheds: identifying controls on water quality in urban environments.” Gabor’s research focuses on water flow and chemistry, and how human impacts like urbanization can alter aquatic ecosystems.

Stone Lab’s annual Guest Lecture Series features speakers from Ohio universities, non-profit organizations, governmental agencies and private consulting firms, all covering topics related to the Lake Erie environment.

Members of the public are invited to see the lecture series live at Stone Lab on Gibraltar Island, or to tune into the live stream online. A recorded video will also be made available the next day. Information on all viewing options is available at go.osu.edu/stonelablectures.
