<\/strong><\/span>Nicole ‘Nikki’ Berry<\/strong> is a PhD student studying the role of UV radiation in regulating freshwater biota. \u00a0Currently, she is investigating the UV tolerance of native (i.e. cisco, lake whitefish) and invasive (alewife) foraging fish, whose transparent eggs and larvae can be exposed to damaging UV in nursery and spawning habitats. She is also leading an effort to gather and collate existing UV datasets from researchers and agencies with sites all across the Great Lakes. These data will help establish the spatial variability and associated risks of exposure to damaging UV radiation for the early life stages of fish within the Great Lakes.\u00a0 She completed her master\u2019s degree in the lab in 2018 studying the UV tolerance of mosquito larvae<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/global-change-limnology-lab\/files\/2018\/12\/LAdkins.jpg\")
Lauren Knose<\/strong>, who began working on her PhD in Fall 2016, is studying the effects of climate change and changing transparency on lake phenology, mixing, and nutrient regeneration. In particular, Lauren is interested in how lake browning can affect the development of harmful algal blooms.\u00a0 With a Master of Public Health degree, Lauren is also curious about the public health and socioeconomic consequences of blooms on communities that rely on the lake for goods and services.\u00a0 Lauren published an article<\/a> about her research in LakeLine, a quarterly publication of the North American Lake Management Society.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/global-change-limnology-lab\/files\/2020\/02\/ZeislerA-e1582910122373-229x300.jpg\")
Addison Zeisler<\/b> is a master\u2019s student interested in the relationships between UV radiation and aquatic organisms.\u00a0 As climate change is affecting the amount of dissolved organic matter flowing into lake ecosystems, lakes are experiencing changes in transparency and therefore, changes in the amount of UV present.\u00a0 Addison is curious as to what relationships exist between UV and aquatic fauna and how these relationships might be affected by changing UV levels. Addison is currently investigating the UV tolerance of Hemimysis anomala<\/em>, the invasive bloody red shrimp found in the Great Lakes.<\/span><\/p>\n
