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!

New paper! Loss of lake ice has wide-ranging environmental and societal consequences. Ice loss will affect culture, economy, water quality, fisheries, and biodiversity, weather, climate. Read it: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

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...
