State of the Lake Address held in North Lake Tahoe August 14th

Find out how healthy the lake is at the annual State of the Lake Address at the Tahoe Environmental Center in Incline Village on August 14.

Dr. Geoff Schladow will report on how the quality of Lake Tahoe's water has changed as well as examining the long term trends that affect clarity. Schladow is the founding director of TERC and an expert in the areas of environmental fluid mechanics, water quality modeling, and the dynamics of inland waters.

Dr Schladow, who holds a doctoral degree in civil engineering, is developing computer models to link stream flow, meteorological and remote sensing information that provide Tahoe decision-makers new management tools.

The public is invited to the event which starts with no-host bar at 5:30 p.m. and presentation at 6 p.m.

A $5 donation is suggested for this event. TERC is asking for attendees to RSVP.
