Microplastic Hotspots in Hudson Valley Lakes & Estuaries (virtual event)

Gabi DeGennaro, Marist College student, will share her research on microplastics in sediment in Chadwick Lake, along with Wappinger Creek, Wallkill River/Rondout Creek, and Esopus Creek. Her work focuses on better understanding locations where microplastics may accumulate over time as “hot spots,” especially where streams flow into lakes and estuaries. Zion Klos, Assistant Professor at Marist College, will provide additional background on Marist’s microplastic research.
