Congratulations to Tyler Harrow-Lyle on receiving the 2025 JGLR/Elsevier Early Career Scientist Award!

Recognized for leading the development of the first binational dreissenid mussel biomass map for Lake Erie—an important contribution to Great Lakes science.

Checking PAR sensors before they go into Lake Ontario. While we can't bring the sun indoors, the tunable light source in @AlgaeBurger lab is a great stand in. 6 down, only 10 more to go....

@BarryHunt008 Oy. We checked our yellow vaccine booklets. My wife missed 2nd dose due to move to the US. Called family doc, booked in next day for MMR shot.

Finally getting around to cleaning up some particulate P samples from the #GrandRiver to explore oxygen isotope signatures in different fractions

@CIGLR_UM @stonelab @GLHABsCollab @OhioState @ohioseagrant @CFAES_OSU Always great to be out on #LakeErie!

Thanks for hosting us @stonelab!

[GreatLakesCommission @GLCommission]

GLC joined @CIGLR_UM's Summit on Disturbance Ecology: effects on #GreatLakes #HABs and Phycology hosted at @stonelab.

Our @GLHABsCollab helped to facilitate this meeting of researchers and managers focused on harmful algal blooms and community ecology.

Pulling out the toys....getting ready for CSMI in Lake Ontario

@MTwiss Not super recent but tuckered out after a go in Lake Ontario

#WinterLimnology is cool! Last weekend, my #IceDiving collaborators practised installing my sympagic enclosures on the #LakeIce bottom in #GreatLakes #LakeHuron. They even edited in some inspirational "underwatery" music.

@LakeOntario16 @LakeErieNorth @LakeMichigan13 @LakeHuronRolls @LakeSuperior @GLCommission @GLSPartnership Here is one of many at @LakeErieNorth, and another by @LakeSuperior marching for science, and sharing the @NatGeo article his human dad was in. He's really an ambassador for all lakes - and lake sceince

If you love plants and water, you’re in for a treat on this Valentine's day! My #PhD paper with @Water_Rox is out in @GlobalChangeBio! We looked at global trends and drivers of submerged #macrophyte quantities in lakes.

If you ever wondered how much light penetrates through #LakeIce and snow, this is our “unmodified snowpack” site, inside a black ice fishing shelter. The light is what has passed through the ice and reflected. The productivity array is clearly visible 2m down. #WinterLimnology

@AlgaeBurger Mini sympagic enclosures?

@KirkwoodLab "Select all"...."Delete"....😀

[Andy Bramburger @AlgaeBurger]

It's time to start looking at broader phytoplankton community dynamics if we want to effectively manage freshwater cHABs. @ctfilstrup @depew_d16 @Milk_in_a_bag_ @microbesheik @Limnoguy and #NoTwitter Doug Haffner Check out our new opinion paper here : https://t.co/qK27ER7jKa
