DESCRIPTION:
 Dr. Amina Pollard ('95) \n
 Researcher, Lead, National Lakes Assessment\n
 US Environmental Protection Agency\n
 \n
 Dr. Pollard's talk is titled: Lakes in our landscape: 
 perspectives from a large-scale sampling program 
 \n
 \n
 While there are many local and regional sampling 
 efforts in lakes across the U.S., it is often 
 difficult to compile this information into a cohesive 
 framework to make national-scale conclusions. 
 To address this gap, the U.S. Environmental Protection 
 Agency partners with States and Tribes to implement 
 the National Lakes Assessment, which is a national-scale, 
 coordinated lake sampling program. The resulting 
 data include colocated biological, chemical, habitat, 
 and human use measures that are available to the 
 scientific community. I will provide a brief overview 
 of the project and discuss some of the ways the 
 results have been used to better understand lakes.\n\n
