It has been a busy winter in the Carey Lab: we’ve had sporadic field sampling while the reservoirs have been frozen (another dimictic year!), and a whole lot of travel. Cayelan co-organized the Reservoir Limnology session at the ASLO meeting in Granada in February, and the whole lab presented at the Virginia Water Conference in Richmond in March.

We covered almost the entire food web: Alex discussed internal vs. external nutrient loading in the reservoirs, and Kate and Jon gave a dual phytoplankton/zooplankton talk.  We are looking forward to getting the field season started in earnest April 1!
