Western Nevada College Professor of Geosciences, Dr. Winnie Kortemeier, has determined that Lake Tahoe is 2.3 million years old, making it North America’s oldest freshwater, permanent lake and the third-oldest in the world. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear firsthand about how this important research shapes our understanding of Lake Tahoe’s geologic history. Dr. Kortemeier […]
The Tahoe State of the Lake report informs nonscientists about important factors affecting the health of Lake Tahoe. It provides the scientific underpinnings for restoration and management decisions within the Lake Tahoe Basin. The 2025 report summarizes data collected during 2024 in the context of the long-term research record at Lake Tahoe. UC Davis researchers […]
Wildfire is reshaping the landscapes of California and our understanding of how forests function and recover is more urgent than ever. This presentation explores how Dr. Andrew Latimer and UC Davis researchers are using advanced data science, remote sensing, and ecological modeling to understand fire behavior, assess fire risk, and predict post-fire forest resilience. Through […]
What are bees thinking? Cognition in captive and wild bumblebees Bumblebees have long been studied for their learning and decision-making abilities, but recent work has shown a range of ‘complex' cognitive abilities and behaviors. UC Davis TERC welcomes Dr. Felicity Muth as she discuss her work at UC Davis Muth Lab using captive and wild […]
UC Davis TERC invites you to a their latest presentation at Sunnyside: What Tiny Lake Organisms Reveal About a Changing Environment. Zooplankton are tiny animals that drift through our lakes, but don’t let their size fool you—they play a crucial role in freshwater ecosystems. This talk introduces these microscopic organisms, highlights their ecological importance, and […]
Science Speaks Lecture Series; Beneath the Surface: What Lakes Reveal About a Warming World Lakes around the world are changing at unprecedented rates, offering some of the clearest signals of a warming planet. In this lecture, freshwater ecologist Dr. Catherine O’Reilly will explore how long-term lake monitoring, satellite observations, and global data synthesis are transforming […]
