Climate change exerts a profound impact on lakes, eliciting responses that range from
gradual to abrupt transitions. When reaching critical tip** points, the established lake …

Among its many impacts, climate warming is leading to increasing winter air temperatures,
decreasing ice cover extent, and changing winter precipitation patterns over the Laurentian …

Estuaries, in particular freshwater estuaries, provide valuable economic, social, and
ecological services, but their ecosystems are often heavily stressed. Located in the …

The rediscovery of diatom blooms embedded within and beneath the Lake Erie ice cover
(2007–2012) ignited interest in psychrophilic adaptations and winter limnology. Subsequent …

While changing lake surface conditions have received significant research scrutiny, changes
in subsurface conditions, including stratification and heat content, remain largely …

Environmental change, particularly warming and eutrophication, can alter phenology in
aquatic systems. Understanding controls on zooplankton phenology is important due to their …

Real‐time forecasted ice information for large lakes, such as the Great Lakes, is critical for
essential operations, such as ice breaking, commercial navigation, search and rescue, and …

Abstract Since the 1990s, Lake Erie has experienced resurgent eutrophication due in part to
climate change-driven increases in precipitation, which have combined with increasingly …

The interannual variability of the annual maximum ice cover (AMIC) of the Great Lakes is
strongly influenced by large-scale atmospheric circulations that drive regional weather …

Shore ice is an important facet of cold‐climate coastal geomorphology yet is generally
understudied in comparison to other aspects such as nearshore hydrodynamics. Climate …
