Integrated Ecosystem Assessment: Lake Ontario Water Management
BACKGROUND Ecosystem management requires organizing, synthesizing, and projecting information at a large scale while simultaneously addressing public interests, dynamic ecological properties, and a continuum of physicochemical conditions. We compared the impacts of seven water level management plans for Lake Ontario on a set of environmental attributes of public relevance. METHODOLOGY AND FIN...
متن کاملPreface: Marine and Lake Paleoseismology
This special issue of Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) contains 16 papers that resulted from the European Science Foundation (ESF) Research Conference “Submarine Paleoseismology: The Offshore Search of Large Holocene Earthquakes” that was held at the Universitätszentrum Obergurgl (Austria), from 11 to 16 September 2010 (Pantosti et al., 2011). The conference enabled scientists ...
متن کاملWhen will Lake Mead go dry?
A water budget analysis shows that under current conditions there is a 10% chance live storage in Lakes Mead and Powell will be gone by about 2013 and a 50% chance it will be gone by 2021 if no changes in water allocation from the Colorado River system are made. This startling result is driven by climate change associated with global warming, the effects of natural climate variability, and the ...
متن کاملRecent climate and limnology changes in Lake Tanganyika
The Bujumbura meteorological station lies at the northern end of the lake (3.32° S, 29.32° E), while the Mbala station is situated 40 km from the southern end (8.85° S, 31.33° E). Both stations are part of the World Meteorological Organisation network. The lake temperature was measured with a CTD12+ instrument (accuracy ±0.01 °C) and an automatic ANDERAA thermistor string installed in the south...
متن کاملUsing Landscape Limnology to Classify Freshwater Ecosystems for Multi-ecosystem Management and Conservation
Governmental entities are responsible for managing and conserving large numbers of lake, river, and wetland ecosystems that can be addressed only rarely on a case-by-case basis. We present a system for predictive classification modeling, grounded in the theoretical foundation of landscape limnology, that creates a tractable number of ecosystem classes to which management actions may be tailored...
