University of California, Davis —
The Tahoe Environmental Research Center, or TERC, at the University of California, Davis, released its annual Tahoe: State of the Lake Report, describing the past year as one of rapid biological change.
The 2023 report presents data collected during 2022 and puts it in context with historical records. It also serves as an important resource for restoration, management and monitoring decisions.
UC Davis researchers have been monitoring the second deepest lake in the United States continuously since 1968, and the report provides an update for nonscientists on a variety of factors affecting the health of Lake Tahoe.
Geoffrey Schladow, TERC director and a professor of civil and environmental engineering, will lead an in-person briefing, which will also be livestreamed, at 6 p.m. July 20 at Granlibakken Tahoe, 725 Granlibakken Road in Tahoe City. Event registration is at tahoe.ucdavis.edu/events.
