Residents impressed as Ginger Cove lake’s quality and clarity look better than it has in 40 years Located in Valley, Nebraska, Ginger Cove is a premier spring-fed, sand-bottom lake home community founded in 1966. Spanning nearly 100 acres of lake and 40 acres of greenspace, Ginger Cove also tout’s Nebraska’s longest genuine covered bridge. The community boasts 160 residential ...
The Arctic region is facing an unprecedented crisis as temperatures soar nearly four times higher than in the rest of the world1. This warming trend has caused the operating window of ice and winter roads to shrink, leaving remote northern communities and industries with limited access to transport essential goods and resources during the winter months. A recent study found that a further rise ...
Lake Erie is hiding something beneath its green, murky surface, and it’s more complex than it seems. Recent findings from The Ohio State University throw light on this phenomenon. They reveal that during the early summer, we might be overestimating the harm of these toxins. But as we enjoy the last days of sun, these toxins might get stronger than we anticipate. ...
Overview The Yigal Allon Kinneret Limnological Laboratory (KLL) is located on the NW shore of Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee). This lab monitors major environmental factors that determine the state of the lake and conducts limnological research aimed at understanding how present and future conditions might affect the ecosystem of the ...
David James, Ph.D., and his research students performed water flow research at Lake Arrowhead in California. This lake is 782 acres in size, 185 ft deep, and has an elevation of 5,174 ft. The research team used tracers and water probes to collect water flow data. ...
The world’s large lakes, life-sustaining vaults of fresh water, are disappearing at an alarming rate, as disclosed in a groundbreaking study led by Yao et al. This scientific deep-dive unveils an uncomfortable truth: in the last three decades, the volume of more than half of the world’s natural lakes and artificial reservoirs has declined significantly. ...
Overview * Note: This article written by the team at Coral Reef Research Foundation. The Coral Reef Research Foundation undertakes a wide variety of marine research activities in the Palau Islands, located in the western Pacific, just north of the equator. Palau is a remarkable tropical archipelago and is a renowned diving destination, also ...
Deforestation has the high potential to accelerate reservoir eutrophication Long-term changes in thermal dynamics may increase the direct effects of climate change on lakes and reservoirs A High-frequency monitoring strategy is proposed by researchers to tackle this challenge Rapid climate change as a result of global warming has made deforestation a ...
Our focus remains, however, on print publications of a more general readership versus those of deep research, high specialization, or lengthy digital content. The updated Journals List with 2020 additions is below. ...
Over the past years, innovations around lake restoration and algal bloom remediation have been introduced and tested. ...
The need for clean, healthy rivers, lakes and streams has stimulated research to develop more efficient, cost-effective solutions of removing pollution from aquifers. ...
Secretary of Energy Rick Perry announced that $40 million in Department of Energy (DOE) awards will be used to establish four DOE Bioenergy Research Centers (BRC) to be led by a DOE National Laboratory or top university. ...

They include Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. ...
We now have much more robust data available on the amount of water in lakes worldwide thanks to a comprehensive database created by researchers at McGill University in Montreal. ...
In summertime a temperature stratification occurs in deep lakes – the surface water is warm, but deep down the water is cold. This has considerable influence on the nutrient balance and the biological habitat in these lakes. Due to generally higher air temperatures induced by the climate change, both change and have effects on the life conditions of the ...
A PP10 was installed at the Turkana Basin Institute, Richard Leakey's remote archeological field station in northern Kenya, the energy from a 10kW Power Pallet is intended to offset their high diesel fuel costs. A world class research facility, centered in an area with some of the most extensive deposits of remains of ancient human predecessors, Turkana provides support for ...
The media almost always gets the story wrong about effective methods to eliminate cyanobacteria blooms in lakes (otherwise known as blue-green algae or harmful algal blooms (HABs). The actual track records for the most talked-about methods are astoundingly poor, about “0 wins” vs “5000 losses” since the U.S. Clean Water Act was passed in 1970. Usually the articles talk ...
Water transparency is an important ecological indicator for shallow lakes. The largest shallow lake, Poyang Lake, as well as the most typical river-connected lake in China was selected as the research area. ...
