About me
Summer is an Aquatic Biologist and GIS Analyst for the Office of Aquatic Invasive Species at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, having performed over 100 aquatic plant surveys of Connecticut’s lakes, ponds, and rivers. Her most recent work includes documenting the extensive infestation of a genetically distinct strain of hydrilla in the Connecticut River. She has recently started her Ph.D. in remote sensing at UConn with the goal of using drones, satellites, and sonar to more effectively map changes in aquatic plant vegetation.
