SUMMARY:Webinar: Nitrate Pollution and the Dead Zone: Insights from the Gulf
DESCRIPTION:Each summer\, the Gulf of Mexico develops a hypoxic “dead zone\,” an area of low to no oxygen spanning thousands of square miles where aquatic life is scarce. Join Dr. Cassandra Glaspie of Louisiana State University for an exploration of the Gulf dead zone and its connection to nitrate pollution within the Mississippi River Basin. Drawing on her firsthand experience leading hypoxia cruises\, Dr. Glaspie will share insights into the data collection process and what long-term nutrient dynamics reveal about the health of our coastal waters. \nRegister for this Webinar \n  \nThis webinar is part of Nitrate Pollution Awareness Week.
