LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev. - Join Scott Fitzgerrell and UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center Director Geoff Schladow as they lead a kayak expedition around Lake Tahoe in support of the Citizen Science Tahoe app June 21-27, 2021.
Paddlers will travel counterclockwise in 6-10 mile segments to circumnavigate the lake over seven days. You are welcome to join for as many days as you are able. Paddleboards and canoes are also welcome.
During each day, paddlers will have the chance to collect valuable water quality, algal growth, and microplastics data. Science specialists will be there to update you on the latest findings.

Members of the public will be able to visually immerse themselves in two of the best-known lakes in the United States, thanks to a $2.3 million grant from the National Science Foundation to UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center. The three-year grant will be used to develop three-dimensional visualization technology to enhance public understanding and stewardship of freshwater lake ecosystems and earth-science processes. The project will directly reach some 400,000 visitors to Lake Tahoe in California and Nevada, and Lake Champlain in Vermont and New York.
The project s collaborators hope it will serve as a global prototype for lake and watershed education.
