SUNY Stony Brook presentation on nitrogen overload
Dr. Christopher J. Gobler, a professor at Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, specializes in coastal change and how aquatic ecosystems are affected by humans. His 2015 presentation on the causes and impacts of nitrogen pollution on Long Island’s coastal waters provides a succinct overview of how population growth and wastewater treatment practices have contributed to impairment of our waterways and loss of wetlands.
