Amy Sauer, Ph.D. candidate at Syracuse University, will present a program on the effects of mercury pollution on wildlife at View on Sunday, October 20 at 2 p.m.
In her presentation, “Mercury Bioaccumulation within Terrestrial Foodwebs in the Northeastern United States,” Sauer will highlight the results of regional studies that have been conducted in the Northeastern United States by BioDiversity Research Institute. 
She will also discuss case studies conducted in the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains to trace the movement of mercury using songbird species as indicators of ecological health.
“The information being collected through regional scientific studies allows us to better understand the many ecological connections and impacts of mercury pollution on wildlife communities in the Northeastern U.S.,” Sauer said.
The presentation, part of the Science on Sunday programming at View, will be held in the Eco Gallery and is free of charge.
Science on Sunday is a program of free talks on science and nature and is jointly sponsored by the Henry Kashiwa Eco Gallery at View and the Central Adirondacks Arts and Sciences Advocacy (CAASA).
