Here's a way to support clean lakes that's not often thought about: considering our food choices. Our visual essay on @EsriStoryMaps shows why this matters for lake & farm health in WI https://t.co/XNO0hx8onq

Better late than never! New-ish research from our project from @cbwardropper : Adaptations to extreme storm events by conservation organizations https://t.co/FidsYS3hIm

"Conducting a transdisciplinary case study in a long-term research setting is a privilege." We totally agree! Very thoughtful post on developing scenarios in Transylvania and how science and community engagement can be used to foster a better future. https://t.co/HbKAbxNgZe

“The thing I kept hearing over and over again as we talked with people about this project was that, unless we deal with the health of our lakes, we’ve really got no future here ... We’ve really got to solve these water quality problems.” Jody Clowes, director of the Gallery

This is quite alarming...and also the main driver of one of our #Yahara2070 scenarios. https://t.co/lEoMngwpqU @FreshwaterSteve @Chris_Kucharik @JennyMSeifert @egbooth @MonicaGTurner https://t.co/kB49SOoBCp

Harmful algal blooms of blue-green algae are a human health hazard. @Michigan_Chemistry research shows pollutants from these blooms can make their way into the atmosphere, raising the question about airborne toxins.

"These aren’t complicated theoretical climate models. These are simple thermometer readings. And they show that days like my adventure on ice skates are endangered." https://t.co/EKdtpF1MEn

More connections being made between phosphorus and urban trees. New article: Atmospheric Inputs of Nitrogen, Carbon, and Phosphorus Across an Urban Area: Unaccounted Fluxes and Canopy Influences - Earth's Future https://t.co/0goCrZQtZC

Blame it on the rain: study ties nutrient loading in lakes to extreme rain events. https://t.co/eT3ZZjQ2XN @FreshwaterSteve @egbooth @Chris_Kucharik @USLTER @NSF_GEO @aslo_org

From the obvious announcements department - @LakeMendota froze over Christmas, where's the latest freeze date sit with long-term trends? https://t.co/DInaaiFFZM

@DevonGeo @UWMadScience @UWMadison Thanks for pointing that out! We (finally) added one.

A beautiful, informative visual essay by the @YaharaWSC called "Lakes, Cheese, and You," which asks how our individual choices--particularly with regard to food--flow into the watery landscapes around us. https://t.co/s35KaSPZoP
