Lakes & Water Quality Research Projects

Chapter 352.068 of the Oregon Revised Statues charge the Center for Lakes and Reservoirs with two main tasks:

1) to research and mitigate nonindenous, invasive aquatic species, and

2) to develop effective management of lakes and reservoirs.

We work closely with local, state, and federal agencies to accomplish these tasks.

We conduct research on limnology and develop management plans for specific invasive organisms and for lake water quality in collaboration with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and US Forest Service.
