We came down from Ossining this morning. Carol Knudson of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory collected the first sample for Season 9 of our water quality monitoring program at 10:36, off the mouth of the Saw Mill River in Yonkers.

Our community science partners are beginning their work too. Water Quality Program Manager Dan Shapley and Water Quality Associate Jen Epstein are sampling Catskill Creek today with community partners using the new Kingston lab.
