Pleased to share our new work, out this week in jgrbiogeo.bsky.social! We looked at how different guilds of aquatic microbial primary producers respond to changing winter conditions in a multi-year study. Great work led by an @michigantech.bsky.social M.S. grad! #winterlimnology shorturl.at/Lsqoy
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.
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.

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

Pretty ok day sampling! When we started the day it was 15F and still but 35F and windy by the end. Every stream had at least an inch of ice, maybe more. Only one on our route was inaccessible. And my new neoprene socks kept my feet toasty in waders! #WinterLimnology
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/...
