How will northern lakes respond to climate change?
2015. How will northern lakes respond to climate change?
This study is a proof of concept that we can use past meteorological data and lake characteristics to accurately model past physical responses of lakes to weather and climate conditions and to predict future responses. The ultimate aim is to use simple lake parameters to predict the sensitivity of different lake types to future climate change. Knowing how sensitive lakes are to change can help park managers identify potential management issues such as determining what lakes are most likely to support a cold-water fishery, or which lakes might be more susceptible to harmful algal blooms.
