LSPA Science with Kak Weathers
7 - 8:30pm
LSPA, Sunapee Harbor
"Dr. Kathleen (Kak) Weathers is a distinguished senior scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies and (Volunteer) Research Director for the Lake Sunapee Protective Association. She has studied ecosystems around the world from foggy coasts, to air pollution-impacted mountains, to blue, green, and brown lakes asking questions about how and why and what impacts these ecosystems’ function. While Kak has “known” Lake Sunapee and the region since the age of 0, through spending time at the summer home of her grandmother, and then her parents’ primary home, she did not turn her lens as a scientist to the are until taking a sabbatical leave with the Lake Sunapee Protective Association in 2004-2005. Through serendipitous events, including community members’ discovery of surprising cyanobacterial blooms in northeastern lakes, and Weathers’ role in the grassroots Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON), which she co-led from its infancy to adulthood, Lake Sunapee, became a famous, now famously studied, and favorite lake for researchers and community groups around the world. This talk will weave stories of serendipity and science that have led to Lake Sunapee’s global, regional and local fame. Click here to register."
