Lake Superior Carbon Cycling, Phenology & Flood Impacts | Story After the Storm

 

Elizabeth Minor, professor from the University of Minnesota Duluth, discusses how floods impact carbon cycling and phenology in Lake Superior’s ecosystem. This presentation is part of the Story After the Storm series, exploring the aftermath of Duluth’s 2012 flood and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events. The series focuses on community resilience and regional climate change impacts. The series is sponsored by the Great Lakes Aquarium, Minnesota DNR MinnAqua Program, Minnesota Sea Grant, and Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center. Funding comes in part from NOAA’s Coastal Zone Management Act in partnership with Minnesota’s Lake Superior Coastal Program.
