SUNY Fredonia graduate student MaryAnn Mason is studying the different temperature layers of Chautauqua Lake this summer. Assistant professor of biology Courtney Wigdahl-Perry supervises her work and has studied algae in the lake since 2014. Together, they are looking to better understand the lake, specifically the impacts of algae mixing between the temperature layers. In this video, the two scientists explain their work and how they do it, and their interactions with the Chautauqua community.
