SUMMARY:How Lakes Work Episode 1 - Dr. Sapna Sharma and Dr. Neil Hutchinson
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sapna Sharma\, York University presents: “On thin ice: are lakes feeling the heat?” \nOur planet is experiencing accelerated climate warming\, with dramatic consequences not only on lake ecology\, but also on the ecosystem services we rely on from our freshwater resources. Lakes with seasonal ice cover\, which represent more than half of the world’s lakes\, are especially sensitive to a changing climate. Mitigation of greenhouse gases is essential to preserving this ecological\, cultural\, and economically important resource. \nDr. Neil Hutchinson\, Friends of the Muskoka Watershed presents: “The things we can’t see – lake physics” \nWhile most of us are fascinated by the variety and abundance of the life in a lake\, or by how our favourite lakes may change over the seasons\, our appreciation of how the lake works to support that life is gained when we understand how physical processes\, driven by reactions at the molecular level\, are responsible for the behaviour and ultimately the ecology of our temperate lakes. \n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the webinar trailer!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
