RESEARCH

Author: Kim Winslow

Stone Laboratory is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and reflecting on the incredible research it’s supported during that time. From faculty to undergraduate students to agency professionals, Stone Lab is home to important breakthroughs in our understanding of water quality and harmful algal blooms.

“We have about on average 50 to 70 various researchers coming to Stone Lab to use our facilities,” said Justin Chaffin, Stone Laboratory’s Research Coordinator. “… they could be here for a day, or they could be here for a month or two months. And it's not just local researchers. We have researchers from all over the country come. … Like the past five or six years, we had researchers come from 20 different states.”
