The Tahoe State of the Lake report informs nonscientists about important factors affecting the health of Lake Tahoe. It provides the scientific underpinnings for restoration and management decisions within the Lake Tahoe Basin.

The 2023 report summarizes data collected during 2023 in the context of the long-term research record at Lake Tahoe. UC Davis researchers have continuously monitored the lake since 1968.

TERC interim director Alex Forrest, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at UC Davis, will share report highlights during a simultaneous live presentation and webinar for an informative and lively interpretation of the most recent data.

A hosted panel of water experts will discuss lake clarity and health. Panelists will include:

• Monica Arienzo, microplastics expert with the Desert Research Institute
• Alex Forrest,
• John Melack, Lake Clarity Report co-chair of the Tahoe Science Advisory Council, UC Santa Barbara
• Dan Segan, Chief Science and Policy Advisor at Tahoe Regional Planning Agency
