Event Date
EVENT CANCELLED
On account of the dangerously poor (and highly variable) air quality and the high likelihood that it will continue, we have made the decision to cancel this year’s Kayak Circumnavigation for Science. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Join Scott Fitzgerrell and UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center director Geoff Schladow as they kayak Lake Tahoe in support of the Citizen Science Tahoe project. Using the app they will collect valuable water quality, algal growth, and microplastics data.
All participants are responsible for bringing their own watercraft, personal protective equipment (flotation device while on the water and a mask while on land), food, beverages, and planning their own transportation to/from the departure and arrival sites.
Please download the Citizen Science Tahoe App from www.CitizenScienceTahoe.org prior to joining if you would like to contribute some valuable data over the course of your paddle.
To join please contact Heather Segale at hmsegale@ucdavis.edu or Toni Myshyakova at amyshyakova@ucdavis.edu.
