Lake ice science! @WiscLimnology #limnology #lakeice #scicomm #actuallivingscientist

my take: Lake Vanda has the best lake ice in the world youtu.be/Qcp1DmCUhq8?fe…

@SwampThingPaul We’ve had no rain. Those nutrients are clearly not washing themselves in.

It’s July and Lake Mendota looks like a lake I’d swim in 😳

We're hiring 2 postdocs for new @mnenrtf projects! Interested in career experience at a nonprofit research org? Curious how #RoadSalt affects aquatic foodwebs? Want to learn more about how #RockSnot is threatening coldwater streams? Apply here: tinyurl.com/25psjhc2

See the difference between a clear air over Madison and a blanket of wildfire smoke through the lens of the @UW_AOS rooftop cameras.

Today is the Day! Come down to Hasler Lab between 2-6 pm for some hands-on science & free @babcockdairy ice cream! Let’s make this year’s open house one to remember! blog.limnology.wisc.edu/2023/06/01/sav…

@AKWALisette Kudos to you all 👏🏼

So we just calculated the difference in tonnes CO2 emissons: it is 0.6 ton by car (9 peoples) vs 4.1 tonnes CO2. Pretty shocking 😳😳😳

Nice new touch to the Lake Mendota shoreline, @UWMadison @WisconsinUnion

@MoreorLoess It’s great. Every building is “grand plans, over budget, scaled back”.

@MoreorLoess This does not have the answer, but great resource all the same williamcronon.net/uw-campus-atla…

@wwfetzer @goodgracious23 Iowa 🙄

@goodgracious23 Surprising they don’t make reports publicly available. Wonder why that would be. Seems the public paid for much of this research.

@MtnScience @isabella_oleksy Can do the same in Madison next year!

Starting off #ASLO23 right with an afternoon 🚴-based “meeting” with @isabella_oleksy. We had a lovely tour of the beautiful hills and towns of Mallorca. 10/10

@creekthinker So many fluids

What I've learned about raising a puppy so far: all the sleeplessness and bodily fluids of a newborn, combined with the stubbornness and impulsiveness of a toddler, emboldened by the burst speed of Usain Bolt.

@creekthinker Best decision ever

Remember when I was thinking about giving up on humans and getting a dog? Well I fell back in love with humans, but I still got the dog. 🐶🥰💕

@BenthosNews @unevadareno Big congrats @akoning!

Congrats to Dr. Aaron Koning (@unevadareno), who received the Hynes Award for New Investigators from @BenthosNews President Dr. Steven Thomas today at #2023SFS/#FreshwaterDownUnder! Learn more about Dr. Koning's nomination here: freshwater-science.org/awards-program…

Are you a limnologist working on stratified lakes? Then surely you read or used stability metrics like Schmidt stability to quantify how stratified the water column is? But did you ever wonder what they really tell us and how they were developed in the first place?

@JMaxBierman Yes, I think folks use the IR bands on the optical satellites. Sentinel has one that lines up nicely with chlorophyll reflectance.

Can confirm that Lake Mendota is currently gross. If you process the #Sentinel2 image differently, you can see bright blue (turquoise) at the north of the lake, as well as by Spring Harbor. Dying scums of cyanobacteria? Calcium carbonate precipitation? Satellites are cool.

Heavy spring rains and warm temperatures have created ideal conditions for the unsightly, toxic algae blooms, as well as weeds. madison.com/news/local/env…

@WiscLimnology damn, keep the good times rolling

@hildug Yet from the files of just how dynamic lakes are spatially, we were out on water near Maple Bluff yesterday & had 20+ feet of secchi depth & daphnia galore!
