Lake ice science! @WiscLimnology #limnology #lakeice #scicomm #actuallivingscientist

[Hilary Dugan @hildug]

my take: Lake Vanda has the best lake ice in the world

@SwampThingPaul We’ve had no rain. Those nutrients are clearly not washing themselves in.

It’s July and Lake Mendota looks like a lake I’d swim in 😳

See the difference between a clear air over Madison and a blanket of wildfire smoke through the lens of the @UW_AOS rooftop cameras.

Today is the Day! Come down to Hasler Lab between 2-6 pm for some hands-on science & free @babcockdairy ice cream! Let’s make this year’s open house one to remember!

@AKWALisette Kudos to you all 👏🏼

[Center for Limnology @WiscLimnology]

Nice new touch to the Lake Mendota shoreline, @UWMadison @WisconsinUnion

[Hilary Dugan @hildug]

@MoreorLoess It’s great. Every building is “grand plans, over budget, scaled back”.

[Hilary Dugan @hildug]

@MoreorLoess This does not have the answer, but great resource all the same

[Hilary Dugan @hildug]

@MtnScience @isabella_oleksy Can do the same in Madison next year!

[Hilary Dugan @hildug]

@creekthinker So many fluids

[Hilary Dugan @hildug]

@creekthinker Best decision ever

[Hilary Dugan @hildug]

@BenthosNews @unevadareno Big congrats @akoning!

[Robert Ladwig @hydrobert]

Are you a limnologist working on stratified lakes? Then surely you read or used stability metrics like Schmidt stability to quantify how stratified the water column is? But did you ever wonder what they really tell us and how they were developed in the first place?

[Hilary Dugan @hildug]

@JMaxBierman Yes, I think folks use the IR bands on the optical satellites. Sentinel has one that lines up nicely with chlorophyll reflectance.

[Hilary Dugan @hildug]

Can confirm that Lake Mendota is currently gross.

If you process the #Sentinel2 image differently, you can see bright blue (turquoise) at the north of the lake, as well as by Spring Harbor. Dying scums of cyanobacteria? Calcium carbonate precipitation?

Satellites are cool.

On-going bloom in Lake Mendota, Wisconsin as captured in the recent #Sentinel2 scene. @WDNR

[Wisconsin State Journal @WiStateJournal]

Heavy spring rains and warm temperatures have created ideal conditions for the unsightly, toxic algae blooms, as well as weeds. https://t.co/lrfMX3dYF6

@WiscLimnology damn, keep the good times rolling
