LéXPLORE Léman

Connaissez-vous LéXPLORE ? Avec @RFI , découvrez cette station expérimentale flottante unique au monde, ancrée sur le lac Léman ! L'occasion d'un panorama sur l'inquiétant panel de pressions que subit le grand lac alpin (pollutions, réchauffement, moule quagga, etc.). ➡️ rfi.my/BGqw.X L'@LexploreLeman est le fruit d'un partenariat entre l'@EPFL_en, l'@UNIGEnews l'@unil, l'Eawag et l'@UmrCarrtel (@INRAE_France / @Univ_Savoie) 📷 © Géraud Bosman-Delzons/RFI

The Nov. storm that brought plenty of snow to 🇨🇭, also brought record waves to LéXPLORE! Two records in our wave data set were broken within 24 hours. For how that impacted the lake below the surface, check out LéXPLORE Letters #60: lexplore.info/lexplore-lette…. 🙏📝@martin_wegmann

We are heading into European winter and with that Lake Geneva is entering its mixing season. For how that manifests in our measurements, check out LéXPLORE Letters #59:  lexplore.info/lexplore-lette…. 🙏📝@martin_wegmann

Did we catch a crazy extreme precipitation event or did someone dump a bucket into our pluviometer? Decide for yourself by checking out the new issue of the LéXPLORE Letters at lexplore.info/lexplore-lette…. 🙏📝@martin_wegmann

For the 2nd year anniversary of the LéXPLORE Letters (that is 52 LéXPLORE Letters in a row), we bring you: summer weather, warm waters, a little bit of phytoplankton bloom and storm passing through. Check it out at lexplore.info/lexplore-lette…. 🙏📝@martin_wegmann 📷Daniel Martinez

Swiss lakes are very warm these days (26°C in Lake Geneva! 🥵). The @LexploreLeman platform allows us to study the effects of these high temperatures on the lake ecosystem. Short insight in the Swiss TV News @RadioTeleSuisse: rts.ch/play/tv/-/vide… @Aphys_Eawag @FGSE_UNIL

The turbulent weather continues as we cross from spring into summer. Winds and waves mix the lake upside down in our latest issue of the LéXPLORE Letters. Check out all the details at lexplore.info/lexplore-lette…. 🙏📝@martin_wegmann

So. Much. Rain. Good thing our platform is floating already, otherwise we would really need to think about a solution. Check out the newest issue of the LéXPLORE Letters at lexplore.info/lexplore-lette… to investigate the impact of extreme waves and all the runoff on the lake.

After a cold end of April, lake temperatures are now starting to heat up more and more. But where is all the phytoplankton? In order to find an answer, check out the newest issue of the LéXPLORE Letters at lexplore.info/lexplore-lette…. 🙏📝 @martin_wegmann

Cherche 500 bénévoles pour mesurer la clarté des eaux du Léman 💧👍 Dirigé par @EPFL , en collaboration avec #Eawag, @unil et ASL, le projet Lémanscope fait appel au public pour collecter des données et aider à évaluer la santé du lac. eawag.ch/fr/portail/din…

This was a 🎢 for the atmosphere and lake around our platform. Truly April weather whiplash. Have a look at the data we recorded and the details that emerge from our high-resolution observations in the new LéXPLORE Letters at lexplore.info/lexplore-lette…. 🙏 @martin_wegmann for the 📈

🌡️In this issue of the LéXPLORE Letters, we caught a very disruptive weather event that brought temporary relief to the extreme heat in Lake Geneva. But that relief did not last for long. Check out the details at lexplore.info/lexplore-lette….

☀️ This February 2024 was the warmest February in Switzerland since the records started in 1864. This exceptional heat is now also stored in Lake Geneva and we can see it in our observations below and above the platform. Check out the newest issue at lexplore.info/lexplore-lette….

🔥 The warm February temperatures in Switzerland found their way into Lake Geneva and with that also into the newest issue of our LéXPLORE Letters. Check out the details at lexplore.info/lexplore-lette… Thanks @martin_wegmann for all these LéXPLORE letters !

En place depuis cinq ans, la plateforme scientifique LéXPLORE donne de premières indications sur la vie et la santé du lac. 24heures.ch/sciences-le-le…

🌊Thetis is happy and back in the water for this new LéXPLORE letters issue #39. The warm January temperatures in Switzerland also show up in our multi-variate measurements. Have a look at what this means for Chlorophyll: lexplore.info/lexplore-lette… 📷 Mary-Lou Tercier
