“Of microbial wracks, strands, sand and man: implications for swimming water quality.”

 

 

This seminar will provide a comparison of regional distributions of microbes within the freshwater Great Lakes and south Florida marine beaches.  The presentation will focus on the impacts of sources and shoreline processes on microbial water quality, emphasizing the importance of beach sand and shoreline wrack as potential contributors of microbes.

 

 

 

*Dr. Richard Whitman, Senior Ecologist of the Lake Michigan Ecological Research Station of the USGS, has published extensively on the sources, physical, and microbiological processes that control recreational water quality within the Great Lakes.  He will be joined during his presentation by Dr. Helena Solo-Gabriele, Professor of Civil/Environmental Engineering of the University of Miami, who has complementary expertise in S. Florida.*
