In response, a number of researchers have turned their attention to this topic, assessing waterways, soils, infrastructure, and behaviors of those engaged in salting during snow and ice management. This research symposium is intended to allow those engaged in this type of research to share findings with one another and with others interested in their research, and to provide an opportunity to discuss priority needs for future research related to road salt.<\/p>\n<p>While this meeting will be held in-person, attendees can also listen to presentations via Zoom.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 20px\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uvm.us15.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=e2f4f51116364b259d51c0c11&amp;id=78274c0637&amp;e=ac07bd67e9\">Click this link to register in person<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uvm.us15.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=e2f4f51116364b259d51c0c11&amp;id=62085a2c7f&amp;e=ac07bd67e9\">Click this link to register for the Zoom meeting<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The meeting agenda (specific presentations to be added January 4, 2024):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>12:00 p.m. &#8211; Lunch and informal networking among road salt researchers and symposium participants.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 20px\">\n<li>12:30 p.m. &#8211; Welcome and setting the stage for today\u2019s symposium \u2013 Kris Stepenuck.<\/li>\n<li>12:40 p.m. &#8211; Research presentations begin (estimated 10-15 minutes each).<\/li>\n<li>2:40 p.m. &#8211; Break.<\/li>\n<li>3:00 p.m. &#8211; Research presentations continue.<\/li>\n<li>4:00 p.m. &#8211; Dialogue to identify gaps in knowledge and research priorities related to road salt in the next 3-5 years.<\/li>\n<li>4:50 p.m. &#8211; Summary of today\u2019s presentations and identified priorities.<\/li>\n<li>5:00 p.m. &#8211; Adjourn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To request a disability-related accommodation to participate in any of these\u00a0programs, please contact us at\u00a0seagrant@uvm.edu\u00a0or\u00a0(802) 777-9130 no later than three weeks before the event\u00a0date\u00a0so we can assist you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extension Associate Professor Kris Stepanuck will be a presenter for the Road Salt Research Symposium on January 11, 2024, located in Waterman Memorial Lounge, 85 South Prospect Street in Burlington, VT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7974,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,1,13,14],"tags":[86,46],"class_list":["post-3916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cals","category-events","category-ext","category-research","tag-lake-champlain","tag-water-quality"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":105,"url":"https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/cals-news\/news-post-test\/","url_meta":{"origin":3916,"position":0},"title":"Deb Neher Delivers Keynote at ISHS International Symposium","author":"CALS Communications","date":"August 24, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Plant and Soil Science Professor Deb Neher was a keynote speaker at GrowingMedia2021, the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS)'s International Symposium on Growing Media, Soilless Cultivation and Compost Utilization in Horticulture.
