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

The world's largest lakes, including the Laurentian Great Lakes, have experienced
significant surface warming and loss of ice cover over the last several decades. Although …

Robust, accurate, and direct measurements of evaporation and related energy fluxes on the
Laurentian Great Lakes are necessary to understand the large historical range in water …

Modes of low-frequency variability of atmospheric circulation undergo decadal variations,
which affect their spatiotemporal impact on climatic variables on long time scales. Previous …

A three‐dimensional lake‐ice coupled model is used to investigate the space‐time
variations of ice and underlying mechanisms in Lake Nam Co (LNC), the third largest lake …

Snow is an important component of Earth's climate system, and snowfall intensity and
variation often significantly impact society, the environment, and ecosystems. Understanding …

To differentiate and understand drivers behind coastal ice cover trends and variability, we
advance development of a model combining satellite, in situ, and teleconnection data along …

Records of ice-on and ice-off dates are available for lakes and rivers across the Northern
Hemisphere spanning decades and in some cases centuries. This data provides an …

This dissertation develops an urban political ecology of postindustrial landscapes for the
Anthropocene era. Ecological concepts have been used to explain urban dynamics since …

The primary objective of this work is to examine ship operations in freshwater versus sea ice
in the context of evaluating appropriate regulatory guidelines, through analysis of historic …
