Brockport professor works to fight algae

In the last 50 years, things have been looking pretty murky around Lake Ontario’s shoreline and Dr. Joseph Makarewicz wants to know why.

Makarewicz has been studying the reason water around the shoreline is so murky and has been awarded a two-year $189,884 grant by the United States Geological Survey to aid in the continuation of his work. The grant will be divided between the college and contributing groups at RIT and Niagara University and will contribute to his latest study “Lake Ontario Nutrient Study.”
