Cayelan Carey will be continuing the data collection work she began last summer for her dissertation at Cornell. She is investigating the effects that Gloeo have on lake water chemistry and biology, specifically how Gloeo blooms affect other phytoplankton, zooplankton, toxicity and nutrients in the water column. Carey’s experiments involve a series of suspended large enclosures (“bags”) so that she can analyze Gloeo’s effects in controlled water volumes and vary the numbers of added Gloeo colonies. She will be running one of these experiments again this summer, in Burkehaven.
