Lakes and Inland Water Bodies
Lakes and Inland Water Bodies
Session ID#: 156984
Session Description:
This multidisciplinary session focuses on understanding the local- to global-scale effects of lakes and inland water bodies on Earth’s biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
This year, we especially welcome abstracts on the Laurentian Great Lakes, with broad focus on:
- Limnology: physical, chemical, and/or biological properties; lake geology and geological records; lake ecosystems and human interactions; anthropogenic impacts e.g., acidification and eutrophication; harmful algal blooms; etc.
- Data and modeling: lake models; ecological modelling; GIS and remote sensing; observations (g., buoy data); bathymetric data; development of new datasets; etc.
- Lake hydrology: lake levels; watersheds research; etc.
- Lake - atmosphere interactions: lake-effect precipitation and lake-induced storms; diurnal and seasonal temperature modulation; microscale and mesoscale climate effects; boundary layer modifications; etc.
- Effects of climate change on inland water bodies
- Policy and management of inland water bodies as a critical water resource, assessments related to their economic potential, etc.
