SUMMARY:4th Annual Virtual Harmful Algal Bloom Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The fourth annual research symposium will be held virtually and feature presentations on prediction\, monitoring\, and treatment as well as communication and outreach regarding harmful algal blooms (HABs). \nIn addition\, the event will include a special feedback session with representatives from the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program studying the effects of freshwater acidification on HABs. The team at NOAA are currently conducting a nationwide stakeholder needs assessment for acidification concerns\, priorities\, interests\, and intersections. The feedback session will offer attendees the opportunity to lend their perspectives and provide feedback to NOAA on the impact of freshwater acidification on HABs. \nThis event is organized by the Algal Bloom Action Team\, a collaboration of water professionals\, researchers\, and educators from 12 states in the North Central Region of the United States.

SUMMARY:Pasturing Oxbows: Optimizing Benefits to the Farm\, Water\, and Wildlife
DESCRIPTION:The Iowa Nutrient Research Center and the Conservation Learning Group join Iowa Learning Farms on Thursday\, January 18th\, to discuss Oxbows. Sara McMillan\, professor of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering at Iowa State University\, and Karen Wilke\, Associate Director of Freshwater at the Nature Conservancy\, will share how an oxbow formed naturally in Kossuth County and the process to restore it. \nLocated within an actively used pasture\, the restoration process took into consideration factors such as livestock safely accessing the water. Pastured oxbows help improve overall forage production by providing a place for water to collect and reduce flooding within the pasture. Additionally\, by providing a water source from the stream\, these systems improve water quality through the reduction of direct contributions of bacteria from livestock in the stream and the maintenance of streambanks that help retain sediment and phosphorus.
