Collection of research summaries from expert lake scientists around the world.
Historically, the Lake Erie Basin has produced harmful algal blooms yearly and suffers from declining water quality conditions. Some large influencers of these conditions are climate change, agricultural practices that lead to[…]
High chloride concentrations can be found in waterways throughout the Great Lakes and nearby Ontario surface and groundwaters. Runoff, the increased use of road salt, and other anthropogenic stressors have led to[…]
Stormwater retention ponds and other small, shallow water resources are often forgotten in limnological research. For many years, scientists believed that shallower water did not stratify on a density gradient[…]
Research centering on phosphorous loading in Lake Erie has grown in frequency as nutrient loading in the lake and its surrounding tributaries becomes inextricably tied to environmental stressors. Nutrient pollution[…]
