When we began the Lake Level Monitoring Project, we knew that our team couldn’t possibly get all of the lake level measurements we would need on our own.
Recently, the Lake Level Monitoring Project reached a major milestone, receiving the project’s 1,000th lake level measurement.
When we received word that our project was funded for an additional 3 years, we were excited about the possibility of continuing to study lakes in North Carolina as well as expanding to new lakes in the United States, Europe, and Asia.

We send out a monthly newsletter with updates on our project expansion and what we're learning about lakes with the help of citizen scientists around the world. You can also sign up to receive an email the day before target monitoring dates when satellites pass over your region.
