High Water: Stories from Maine’s Mountain Ponds is a series conversations exploring the science, ecology, and conservation of Maine’s beloved mountain ponds. Scientists often describe these ponds as our local “canaries in the coal mines”, because these ponds record a story of a rapidly changing environment. Through conversations with scientists, educators, conservationists, and trail managers, we uncover what these ponds can teach us about resilience, refugia, and stewardship, and why people continue to return to them generation after generation. © 2026 Amanda Gavin & Bryan Wentzell.

Episode #5
Episode 4 takes us west to Mountain Pond in Rangely to get out on the lake with Julia Daly and Rachel Hovel, professors at University of Maine Farmington. In 2007, Julia got a wild idea to put a temperature buoy in Tumbledown Pond, and now nearly twenty years later, Julia and Rachel have continuous temperature and ice monitoring data across 9 ponds. We learn about how Julia’s background in geology and Rachel’s ecology background come together to form research questions and study design. They also tell us about how they are mentoring the next generation of scientists to think about lakes and ponds a...
Episode #4
In episode 4, we travel north to talk with Sarah Nelson, Director of Research at the Appalachian Mountain Club, who has played a key role in keeping Maine mountain pond research rolling and relevant for over 15 years. Sarah tells us about mountain pond sampling from a helicopter as a graduate student and we learn about how acid rain and climate change impact pond ecosystems.
Episode #3
Join us for a conversation with Matt Scott, Linda Bacon, and Steve Kahl, the founders of the High-Elevation Lake Monitoring Project. From this oral history of Maine mountain pond research, we learn about why they started this project that pioneered long-term monitoring in remote areas and how they made a lasting impact on lake science and stewardship across the state.
Episode #2
Join us on a bluebird September day as we hike up to 3,685 feet to meet Hawk<br />Metheny at the highest pond in Maine- Speck Pond. Hawk is the Vice President of Trail<br />Management at the Appalachian trail Conservancy that has been working Speck Pond<br />for over thirty years. We talk to Hawk about his approach to maintaining the balance<br />between quality recreational experiences while protecting natural resources. He<br />answers important questions, like why the backcountry infrastructure at Speck Pond is<br />better for maintaining water quality than primitive, dispersed camping and what it means<br />...
