Inland lakes specialist, Minnesota Sea Grant
Chris Filstrup (Ph.D. Biology) is a lake scientist with Minnesota Sea Grant and the Large Lakes Observatory at the University of Minnesota Duluth. He studies lake response to nutrient enrichment, environmental conditions favoring toxic cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms, and nutrient recycling within lakes.
Chris and his colleagues seek to develop strategies to prevent water quality issues caused by human activities within watersheds and to restore lakes with poor water quality to their natural state.
