Join us again next week for a #limnology seminar with Dr. Bjoern Wissel who will speak on DIC dynamics in hardwater lakes! DM myself or @LizLoveLake if you’d like the zoom link!

Congrats @CummingLab! I’ll never forget the day we collected that particularly long gravity core! – at Saranac Lake, NY

The first Rigler award was given in 1984- today one space is left on the plaque ! @Can_Limnology

Case study: Osoyoos Lake in southern BC. Straddles Canada-US border. Sediment loadings caused bacterial blooms starting in 1960s thru to today, corrective measures caused improvement after 2000. #ccffrscl2020 #ccffrscl

Conceptual basis for need of long-term data: how can research inform what is 'acceptable' environmental change with baselines having shifted over timescales? #ccffrscl2020 #ccffrscl

Case study: reference lakes in Adirondacks region. Chrysophytes used to compare pre-industrial to modern conditions. Most lakes have changed chrysophyte assemblage to warmer water species: shifted baseline to compare to acidified/stressed lakes. #ccffrscl2020

But what is baseline? Modern day diatom distributions related to Phosphorus levels, & paleolim diatoms in lake used to understand historic loading, shows climate change affecting it now #ccffrscl2020 #ccffrscl

Case study: using paleolim data to get baseline from warmer periods over prev thousands of years in NW Ontario. How representable is monitoring data from 1969-today? #ccffrscl2020 #ccffrscl

Monitoring data since 1960s vs paleolim data show large changes of plankton assemblage starting in mid to late 1800s. Also developed method to sample different depths to account for changing lake depths and plankton shifts relative to shoreline #ccffrscl2020 #ccffrscl

I’m glad to have this paper out finally. Mirror Lake is now one of a small handful of lakes to have a documented interruption in lake turnover due to road salt. This is particularly notable given the historic protection of water quality in the #Adirondacks. – at Syracuse, NY

We are excited to have our research on #MirrorLake published in Lake and Reservoir Management. Our findings will help inform that protection of our lakes and rivers from #RoadSalt pollution.
