Lake Ngāroto hits close to home. It currently has an algal bloom so toxic that fish and birds are dying.

Our 2017 @NZLakes model showed: drastic measures are needed, not only land-use changes, also geochemical engineering to reduce internal P loading.

Data from the @BOPRC lake #WaterQuality monitoring programme and matchup processed #Sentinel2 #satellite imagery are now available to explore your own application for remote monitoring of lakes.

Read the 🧵 1-4/4 for details of @m_z_magic‘s approach.

6/4
We made publicly available five years of processed #Sentinel2 satellite data and in situ chlorophyll a, as well as the results as GeoTIFFs

Check it out https://t.co/l4OQElPp73

Great support from @BOPRC @Xerra_EO @waikatoscience @WaikatoEri @BrockmannCon @KatjaKuhwald

New paper alert!

Discovery of a host fish sp for the threatened New Zealand freshwater mussel Echyridella aucklandica

The title basically says it all - except for what the actual host sp is...*drum roll* COMMON SMELT (R. retropinna)

Interesting Lakes Advisor role advertised @ourwaikato regional council. https://t.co/pWarRMJ5ns

[Simon Donald Stewart @SimonDStewart_N]

I'm really proud of this paper on filamentous algae blooms in clear lakes. It's been one of the most interesting and exciting projects I have worked on! Having funding from @royalsocietynz & @NSF to support international collaboration made it what it is.

Congrats and well deserved ... also LERNZ affiliate @wegeochem promoted to “A/Prof”.

[Ian Duggan @icdugg]

A couple of significant things happened this week. Firstly, I now have the academic rank of 'Associate Professor' (we use the UK, not US, system, if your wondering why I wasn't already). Secondly, non-work, with my band we released our debut EP.

Lake Rotomā - beautiful above and below the water! Was the perfect lake to kick start a busy year of @niwa_nz lake surveys. 📷Swimming here over native charophyte meadows growing down to ~12m. #MacrophyteMonday #Rotoma @BOPRC
