A satisfying outcome of being a scientist is when an organically developed collaborative project comes to fruition, and an early career researcher seizes an opportunity to publish new findings. This is the case for Anthony Arsenault who found that across the Great Lakes, ice stores different levels of dissolved organic matter, which can be very important to microbes during melt to jump-start spring production.

Freshwater ecosystem (Ecosystems 🏞️)

Freshwater ecosystems are a subset of Earth's aquatic ecosystems that include the biological communities inhabiting freshwater waterbodies such as lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, springs, bogs, and wetlands. They can be contrasted with marine ecosystems, which have a much higher salinity. Freshwater habitats can be classif...

Freshwater browning threatens growth and populations of economically important fish

Browning is affecting more than just fish: it’s affecting the broader ecosystem

Mixing Is the Heartbeat of Deep Lakes. At Crater Lake, It’s Slowing Down. | Quanta Magazine

The physics of mixing water layers — an interplay of wind, climate and more — makes lakes work. When it stops, impacts can ripple across an ecosystem.

Hey Fediverse, I just published a paper on water-quality improvements in Lake Washington! It's been almost a decade since I was the lead author on a peer-reviewed paper -- I've been working on government reports and internal stuff-and-things behind the scenes. It feels really good to get something out into the wider world, especially some good environmental news for a change!
