EFD Seminar Series: Field Characterizations of Transport, Turbulence, & Mixing in Lake Michigan
Join us for an insightful session in the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Seminar Series featuring Dr. Cary Troy from Purdue University’s Lyles School of Civil & Construction Engineering. Dr. Troy, an expert in Great Lakes hydrodynamics, will present his research on transport, turbulence, and mixing in Lake Michigan, offering valuable insights into the physical dynamics that shape water quality, ecosystem health, and coastal processes. With extensive field observations and decades of expertise, Dr. Troy will explore key processes such as thermal stratification, large-scale circulation, seiches, and nearshore sediment transport—all critical to understanding and managing the world’s largest surface freshwater system.
This seminar is a must-attend for students, researchers, and professionals interested in environmental fluid mechanics, coastal engineering, and freshwater sustainability. Whether you're passionate about water resource management, climate resilience, or ecological preservation, Dr. Troy’s presentation will provide a deeper understanding of Great Lakes dynamics and their broader implications. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and discuss pressing environmental challenges affecting Lake Michigan and beyond!
