Zippel Bay research

Diploneis The Ely research team is looking at causes for sediment build-up and algal blooms in Zippel Bay, Lake of the Woods, located in Northwestern Minnesota. By studying the paleoecology of two streams that feed into the bay, researchers are able to evaluate the effect of resorts and agriculture on the bay. A plan for rehabilitation will follow at the conclusion of the study.
