SUMMARY:Unwelcome Guests: The Threat of Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:Introduction and moderation by Isabel Savransky\, Sustainability Planner at Ontario Tech University. \nThe first presentation will be by Adam Peltenburg\, a computer science student at Ontario Tech University. Adam will be presenting on his experience learning and identifying inavsive plants as well as the challenges he encourtered and what he learned working on the largest remaining wetland in the Greater Toronto Area. \nThe second presentation will be by Flavia Breje\, a PhD candidate in Dr. Andrea Kirkwood’s Aquatic Ecology Lab\, where she studies how aquatic plants and macroalgae in the Trent-Severn Waterway respond to environmental stressors. Her presentation will focus on the response of the invasive macroalga\, starry stonewort\, to lakewide algal blooms in Lakes Simcoe and Scugog. \nThe final presentation will be by Dr. Laura Meyerson\, a professor at the University of Rhode Island in the Department of Natural Resources Science where she conducts research\, teaches courses on invasion science and restoration ecology\, and trains graduate students.
