Episode 4 takes us west to Mountain Pond in Rangely to get out on the lake with Julia Daly and Rachel Hovel, professors at University of Maine Farmington. In 2007, Julia got a wild idea to put a temperature buoy in Tumbledown Pond, and now nearly twenty years later, Julia and Rachel have continuous temperature and ice monitoring data across 9 ponds. We learn about how Julia’s background in geology and Rachel’s ecology background come together to form research questions and study design. They also tell us about how they are mentoring the next generation of scientists to think about lakes and ponds as sentinels of change.
