Evaluating sedimentary geochemical lake-level tracers in Walker Lake, Nevada, over the last 200 years

Walker Lake, a hydrologically closed, saline, alkaline lake located along the western margin of the Great Basin of western United States, has experienced a 77% reduction in volume and commitment drop in lake level as a result of anthropogenic perturbations and climatic fluctuations over the last century. The history of lake-level change in Walker Lake has been recorded instrumentally since 1860...

Spatial-temporal analysis of heat waves in Iran over the last three decades

The purpose of this research is to analyze heat waves characteristics in the warm period of the year as a climatic hazard in Iran. In this study, the daily maximum temperature is taken at 44 synoptic stations during the period 1981-2010. These temperature values were used to extract the intensity, frequency and duration of heat waves using percentile thresholds of 90, 95, and 98. The results sh...

Recent Warming of Lake Kivu

Lake Kivu in East Africa has gained notoriety for its prodigious amounts of dissolved methane and dangers of limnic eruption. Being meromictic, it is also expected to accumulate heat due to rising regional air temperatures. To investigate the warming trend and distinguish between atmospheric and geothermal heating sources, we compiled historical temperature data, performed measurements with log...
