This research article reports on the first lake-wide study of microplastics in Lake Superior,.
Despite the strides made in recent years surrounding remote sensing and environmental IoT technology, multiyear, year-round records of physical parameters in the US-Canada Laurentian Great Lakes are few and far between. Even more so, finding data on subsurface conditions throughout the water column is even rarer. Nevertheless, physical parameters like temperature and currents are part of the fundamental characteristics of the Great Lakes, meaning the data could impact and inform management strategies for state and local groups.
In the wake of some of the world’s largest recorded algal blooms in history occurring over the past few decades, researchers are left asking how we got here. Nutrient loading and climate[…]
