🚨Everyone! Advertising our 2018/2019 limnology series seminars, and looking for speakers! Speakers from all levels of academia, government, and industry are welcomed. 💧

[Graham Mushet @GrahamMushet]

Join us again next week for a #limnology seminar with Dr. Bjoern Wissel who will speak on DIC dynamics in hardwater lakes! DM myself or @LizLoveLake if you’d like the zoom link!

[Dr. Brendan Wiltse @BrendanWiltse]

Congrats @CummingLab! I’ll never forget the day we collected that particularly long gravity core!

Congratulations to Dr. Brian Cumming from @CummingLab @queensu for winning the Rigler Award for life time achievement and contribution to the field of aquatic science in Canada 🇨🇦 💧

The first Rigler award was given in 1984- today one space is left on the plaque ! @Can_Limnology

Going back in time with paleo data from canadian lakes and great colleagues during the Rigler Lecture. @CCFFR_CCRP @Can_Limnology @CummingLab @RiverInstituteC

Case study: Osoyoos Lake in southern BC. Straddles Canada-US border. Sediment loadings caused bacterial blooms starting in 1960s thru to today, corrective measures caused improvement after 2000.

[Clay Steell @claysteell]

Conceptual basis for need of long-term data: how can research inform what is 'acceptable' environmental change with baselines having shifted over timescales?
#ccffrscl2020 #ccffrscl

[Clay Steell @claysteell]

Case study: reference lakes in Adirondacks region. Chrysophytes used to compare pre-industrial to modern conditions. Most lakes have changed chrysophyte assemblage to warmer water species: shifted baseline to compare to acidified/stressed lakes.

[Clay Steell @claysteell]

But what is baseline? Modern day diatom distributions related to Phosphorus levels, & paleolim diatoms in lake used to understand historic loading, shows climate change affecting it now

[Clay Steell @claysteell]

Case study: using paleolim data to get baseline from warmer periods over prev thousands of years in NW Ontario. How representable is monitoring data from 1969-today?

[Clay Steell @claysteell]

Brian Cumming is up talking abt his research on lake responses to anthropogenic and natural forcings for the Rigler Memorial Lecture.

[Clay Steell @claysteell]

Monitoring data since 1960s vs paleolim data show large changes of plankton assemblage starting in mid to late 1800s. Also developed method to sample different depths to account for changing lake depths and plankton shifts relative to shoreline
