Here's a neat little map. Inland lake ice-out dates reported by volunteers in the MiCorps Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program. The average date ranged across two months! March 7 to May 8, depending on location.

🧊🌊Glad to share a collaborative effort with some excellent colleagues: 100 questions to shape the future of #WinterLimnology. We highlight how in situ #Monitoring, #RemoteSensing, and #Modeling can be integrated to advance #LakeIce research.

So many questions still open - so much left to discover.

Had the opportunity to become a limnologist for the day over the weekend! Cold day for it, but 100% worth the experience!

A woman in brown waders, a bright orange vest, checkered button-up top, and green hat walks towards the camera. She is walking in a creek that is partially frozen over, chunks of ice floating around her legs.

She is standing in a partially frozen creek, seen in the background to the left, with the bank covered in snow on the right.

Environmental and societal consequences of winter ice loss from lakes
Climate change is reducing winter ice cover on lakes; yet, the full societal and environmental consequences of this ice loss are poorly understood. The socioeconomic implications of declining ice incl...
