Three RIvers Community College 574 New London Turnpike, Norwich

Please join us for an evening with Dr. Peter Siver.

Dr. Siver is a noted expert in limnology, the study of lakes. Dr. Siver shows that surrounding watersheds help regulate the effect of acid rain on lakes and ponds, in some cases reducing acidity over time.

Dr. Siver's research interests include studying the ability of extant and fossil algal floras, especially chrysophytes and diatoms, to reveal the effects of environmental stresses on aquatic ecosystems; the use of algal assemblages in reconstructing paleoenvironments; biotic surveys of chrysophyte floras in New England, the Adirondacks, the Poconos, Florida and Argentina; integration of the Geographic Information System (GIS) in lake management issues; and the chemistry of Connecticut lakes.
