A large number of different-sized lakes exist in the inland area of the Tibetan Plateau (TP), which are examples of the important connection between the atmosphere and hydrosphere through the analysis of lake surface convergence and evaporation processes. The evaporation level changes that occur in middle–large-sized lakes (surface area > 50 km2) in the area directly influence the regional mass and energy balance values, atmospheric boundary layer heat and humidity structures, and weather processes occurring in the lower-reach areas.

Small lakes within social sciences’ conceptualisation are mostly wanting, less anchored and seldom scrutinised in academic literature as opposed to large lakes and natural sciences. Essentially, small lakes, from a social sciences’ perspective, are about people connecting and enhancing through lake governance.

Abstract. Snow represents the largest potential source of water for thermokarst lakes, but the runoff generated by snowmelt (freshet) can flow beneath lake ice and via the outlet without mixing with and replacing pre-snowmelt lake water. Although this phenomenon, called “snowmelt bypass”, is common in ice-covered lakes, it is unknown which lake and watershed properties cause variation in snowmelt bypass among lakes. Understanding the variability of snowmelt bypass is important because the amount of freshet that is mixed into a lake affects the hydrological and biogeochemical properties of the

Lakes in the Dhaka city have been facing extreme deterioration both by quantity and quality due to rapid urban and population growth for several decades. The prime objective is to assess the spatiotemporal changes of water quality and water quantity of the Dhaka city lakes respectively using Sentinel 2B and Landsat satellite images. The study covers the major twelve lakes of the Dhaka city. The four seasonal water qualities such as chlorophyll-a concentration, trophic state index (TSI), Secchi disk depth (SDD) and turbidity were retrieved with the conventional algorithms using Sentinel 2B imag

Abstract. Lakes in contact with glacier margins can impact glacier evolution as well as the downstream biophysical systems, flood hazard, and water resources. Recent work suggests positive feedbacks between glacier wastage and ice-marginal lake evolution, although precise physical controls are not well understood. Here, we quantify ice-marginal lake area change in understudied northwestern North America from 1984–2018 and investigate climatic, topographic, and glaciological influences on lake area change. We delineate time series of sampled lake perimeters (n=107 lakes) and find that regional

Eutrophication and global climate change gather advantageous conditions for cyanobacteria proliferation leading to bloom formation and cyanotoxin production. In the Azores, eutrophication is a major concern, mainly in lakes where fertilizers and organic matter discharges have increased nutrient concentration. In this study, we focused on understanding the influence of environmental factors and lake characteristics on (i) cyanobacteria diversity and biomass and (ii) the presence of toxic strains and microcystin, saxitoxin, anatoxin-a, and cylindrospermopsin cyanotoxin-producing genes.

Abstract:

Abstract. Failures of glacial lake dams can cause outburst floods and represents a serious hazard. The potential danger of outburst floods depends on various factors like the lake's area and volume, glacier change, morphometry of the glacier and its surrounding moraines and valley, and glacier velocity. Remote sensing offers an efficient tool for displacement calculations and risk assessment of the identification of potentially dangerous glacial lakes (PDGLs) and is especially helpful for remote mountainous areas. Not all important parameters can, however, be obtained using spaceborne imagery.

The purpose of the article was to assess the long-term dynamics of the area of the Shatsk Lakes (Volyn region, Ukraine) and the spread of water blooms on their surface using remote sensing data in connection with fluctuations in the level of these water bodies for the period 1985-2023. Satellite images from the American Landsat-5,7,8 mission and the European Sentinel-2 L2A mission were used. Long-term data from state monitoring were also used to monitor: a) water level at the hydrological station of Svitiaz Lake; b) the amount of precipitation at the Svitiaz weather station.

Although mixing in lakes has significant environmental and ecological implications, knowledge of mixing dynamics for shallow floodplain lakes has received little attention. In this study, hydrological, thermal and isotopic investigations were undertaken to provide evidence for the mixing in the large, shallow floodplain Poyang Lake (China). Depth profiles of water velocity, water temperature and stable hydrogen and oxygen isotope compositions were measured throughout the lake, with results showing that the water velocity differences in depth profiles are generally less than ∼0.2 m/s, indicatin

Abstract:

We estimated biomass and production of the fish community in 19 small (<50 ha) lakes from four watersheds in central Ontario. Lake pH ranged from 4.8 to 7.1. We found 19 fish species in these lakes; yellow perch (Perca flavescens), pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus), white sucker (Catostomus commersoni), and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) were the most common. On average, there were 4.5 species per lake. Neither fish community biomass nor production was significantly different among the communities identified by cluster analysis, and the number offish species was not lower at lower pH.

Abstract:

Tropical maar lakes are distinct ecosystems with unique ecological features. To comprehend, manage, and conserve these lakes, it is essential to understand their water sources, particularly groundwater, and the hydrogeochemical processes shaping their water chemistry. This research focuses on the maar lake Alchichica in central Mexico, known for harboring 18 new and endemic species and a ring of stromatolites. With groundwater discharge as the primary source, concerns arise over anthropic extraction impacts on water levels and stromatolite survival. Sampling six wells and one piezometer reveal

The current study aimed to investigate the taxonomic and functional composition of six coastal dune lakes on Chatham Island using sediment DNA approaches.

To determine if the variability in basin morphometry can be the primary factor causing interbasin differences, we examined the thermal structure of Trout Lake, Wisconsin, during summer and winter stratification and quantitatively

Numerous factors diminish the regulating reservoir's function for urban drainages, such as the lake's small volume, an inadequate drainage system, and restricted outflow from the lake. Therefore, this study applies the method of limited rainfall intensity to calculate the stormwater flow into the lake and determine the volume of the detention lakes according to TCVN 7957: 2008 [1] to the sub-basin of Tan Mieu.

Abundances of microbial plankton were determined which allowed a delineation of the pelagic food web structure. We also report the nutrient status of these lakes. We demonstrate the occurrence of a trophic gradient that extended from upland lakes (oligotrophic) to the coastal ones (eutrophic). The study shows that a lake's morphology regulates the relative importance of the pelagic and benthic habitats, whereas nutrient loads main

This paper examines their systems’ main drivers and constraints, which are used to develop numerical models for these two lakes.

The genetic classification is based on the classification of lakes according to the way of origination of the lake basin while the geomorphologic viewpoint prevails: glacial lakes, fluvial lakes, karst lakes, lakes dammed-up by landslides, organogenous lakes and anthropogenic lakes. As the anthropogenic lakes we may regard all the water bodies which originated as a consequence of the human activity - mining of mineral resources.
