2024 Lake Tahoe ‘State of the Lake’
Lake Tahoe is one of Northern California’s natural jewels, but its deep-blue waters aren’t immune to the effects of climate change. For years, researchers and scientists have been collecting data and information on the lake’s conditions, and compiled it in the annual “State of the Lake” report. Professor Alexander Forrest, interim director of the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center joins Insight to talk about the latest report that was released last week, and about some of the trends affecting Lake Tahoe from invasive species, to water clarity and wildfires.
