This book was released on 2016 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical, chemical, and biological properties in lakes are all sensitive to changes in climate, but the interaction and response of these properties to climate changes is not yet fully understood. This dissertation has two main objectives: (1) characterize the role of lake depth and lake surface area on the physical response of water temperature and ice cover to air temperature (AT) and wind speed (WS) changes and (2) determine the response fish habitat to climate-caused changes in the physical parameter of temperature chemical parameter of dissolved oxygen. To fulfill these objectives, a one-dimensional lake hydrodynamic, ice, and water quality model is utilized on three lakes near Madison, WI. Chapter 2 investigates the response of lake water temperatures and stratification to AT increases and WS decreases for three Madison area lakes. Results indicate that surface area is more important than depth when determining the response of water temperature, stratification, and stability and increasing AT and decreasing WS have a cumulative effect for all variables except hypolimnion temperature, where they have opposing influences. Chapter 3 investigates the response of ice cover duration and ice thickness to AT increases for the same three lakes, and results show that lake depth is the greater influence on ice cover response, with shallow lakes being more resilient to changes in AT. Chapter 4 investigates the role of meteorological drivers and water quality drivers on oxythermal habitat of cisco. Results show that summer AT, spring phosphorus load, and spring inflow volume drive habitat loss, but effects of AT increases can be offset by decreases in phosphorus loading. Finally, Chapter 5 develops a novel metric, cumulative oxythermal stress dosage (COSD), to quantify oxythermal habitat of yellow perch in Fish Lake, WI. Results show that COSD is a good predictor of fish declines, COSD values are closely tied to the July -- September AT, and perturbation scenarios identify 3°C AT increase as a possible threshold for yellow perch extirpation.

This book was released on 2023-07-05 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book updates the first edition for the status of knowledge in the physics of lake ice and the interactions between the ice cover and the liquid water underneath. Since the first edition was written in 2013, there has been a lot of progress in the field, in particular concerning environmental questions and the impact of climate change. Life conditions in ice-covered lakes and practical matters are now brought more into the picture so that the revision also properly serves as a handbook for applications. The author has worked widely with boreal lakes, polar lakes and Central Asian lakes that provides a wide geographical spectrum. Chapter 1 gives a brief overview and presents the research fields. The second chapter contains the classification of ice-covered lakes and observation techniques, especially remote sensing. In Chapter 3, the structure and properties of lake ice are presented including optics and geochemistry. Ice growth and melting are treated in Chapter 4, while the following chapter focuses on ice mechanics with applications to traffic on ice and ice loads. Chapter 6 goes into the exotic environment of pro-glacial lakes. Chapter 7 contains the stratification and circulation of the water body beneath lake ice, Chapter 8 presents the winter ecology of freezing lakes and discusses the lake ice interface toward the society, and Chapter 9 summarizes the climate change impact on lake ice seasons. The book ends into a brief closing chapter and list of references. Research problems for student learning are listed throughout the book. Annexes are included to provide numerical data of constants and standard formulae to help practical calculations and student tasks. Lake ice closely interacts with human living conditions, but people have learnt to live with that and to utilize the ice. In the present time this is true for on-ice traffic and recreation activities. Ice fishing has become a widely enjoyed hobby, and winter sports such as skiing, skating, and ice sailing are popular activities on frozen lakes. The lake ice response to eventual climate warming would appear as a shortening of the ice season due to the increasing air temperature and also as changing of the quality of the ice seasons via changes in ice thickness and structure. The book gives the whole story of lake ice into a single volume. The second, revised edition updates the content based on recent progress in winter limnology and ice physics research and applications. The author has contributed to lake ice research since the 1980s. In particular, his topics have been lake ice structure and thermodynamics, light transfer in ice and snow, ice mechanics in large lakes, and lake ice climatology. Mathematical modeling of ice growth, drift, and decay are covered in this research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Limnological Analyses, a classic, second, thoroughly updated edition, consists of a series of carefully designed and tested field and laboratory exercises covering the full scope of limnology. It provides the student with a solid foundation in this complex multidisciplinary field of ecology and illustrates modern experimental approaches. Among the topics covered by such exercises are: major physical components of lakes and streams; important mineral nutrients; cycling of organic matter; benthic fauna; primary productivity of phytoplankton; quantitative methods in biota analysis; diurnal changes; experimental manipulation of model ecosystems; effects of sewage outfall and other human activities; whole ecosystem and community analyses. Each exercise is preceded by an introductory section and concludes with questions for the student and a selection of suggested reading. Teachers and students of limnology will value Limnological Analyses for its highly structured, concise presentation. Its research-oriented approach encourages active participation.

Book excerpt: "The objective of the Yukon Ice Seasonality Experiment (YISEX) is to obtain an understanding of physical processes affecting ice cover on northern lake and river systems. Towards this goal, limnological studies were carried out during the winters of 1982/83 and 1983/84 on lake Laberge, a long (48 km), narrow (4.2 km), deep (mean depth = 54 m), medium residence-time (Tr = 1.06 a) lake in the Yukon Territory. A record is given here of the evolution of thermal structure, ice growth and decay, and the attendant meteorological and hydrological conditions"--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lake, as a body of water, is in continuous interaction with the rocks and soils in its drainage basin, the atmosphere, and surface and groundwaters. Human industrial and agricultural activities introduce new inputs and processes into lake systems. This volume is a selection of ten contributions dealing with diverse aspects of lake systems, including such subjects as the geological controls of lake basins and their histories, mixing and circulation patterns in lakes, gaseous exchange between the water and atmosphere, and human input to lakes through atmospheric precipitation and surficial runoff. This work was written with a dual goal in mind: to serve as a textbook and to provide professionals with in-depth expositions and discussions of the more important aspects of lake systems.
