In this lecture, Monica Arienzo, Ph.D., presents current research on the sources, transport, and accumulation of plastic debris—from large consumer items to microplastics—entering Lake Tahoe through urban runoff, recreation, atmospheric deposition, and watershed processes. She will discuss how basin hydrology influences the distribution of plastics in nearshore zones, open waters, and sediments, as well as the challenges of monitoring plastic pollution in freshwater systems. The talk also explores ecological and water-quality implications and highlights the importance of science-based strategies for protecting iconic lake ecosystems.Monica Arienzo is an environmental scientist specializing in water quality and emerging contaminants, with a focus on plastic pollution and microplastics in alpine freshwater environments.________________________________________Doors open at 5:00 p.m. Presentation begins at 6:00 p.m.Tickets purchased in advance are $10 through EventBrite and free for students with a student ID.
