Mažeika Sullivan, director of CFAES’s Wilma H. Shiermeier Olentangy River Wetland Research Park, will keynote this year’s Stone Lab Winter Program on Feb. 19 in Columbus. The program is an educational and fundraising event in support of Stone Lab, Ohio State’s Lake Erie island campus.
Six guest speakers, a silent auction (including an antique microscope and Ohio State football tickets), a cash bar, Stone Lab merchandise sales and more are on the program’s agenda. Admission is free and open to the public. Find details and a link to RSVP.
Sullivan and some of his students talk about the importance of wetlands, and of the park specifically, in the 2014 video above, which was shot in and near the park.
Sullivan, among his efforts, is trying to develop a new diagnostic tool for harmful algal blooms in rivers and streams.
