Dr. Pollard's talk is titled: Lakes in our landscape: perspectives from a large-scale sampling program

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.
