Spatial and temporal trends in surface water and sediment contamination in the Laurentian Great Lakes.
Data from recent sediment and surface water surveys have been collated and mapped to illustrate the spatial distribution of contaminants across the entire Great Lakes basin. Information from historical surveys, together with data from surface water monitoring programs in three major connecting channels, has also been collated in order to evaluate temporal trends. In general, Lakes Superior and ...
متن کاملCyanobacterial Toxins of the Laurentian Great Lakes, Their Toxicological Effects, and Numerical Limits in Drinking Water
Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous phototrophic bacteria that inhabit diverse environments across the planet. Seasonally, they dominate many eutrophic lakes impacted by excess nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) forming dense accumulations of biomass known as cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms or cyanoHABs. Their dominance in eutrophic lakes is attributed to a variety of unique adaptations including N a...
متن کاملHydroclimatic Factors of the Recent Record Drop in Laurentian Great Lakes Water Levels
AUGUST 2004 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | T he Laurentian Great Lakes (Fig. 1) comprise the United States’ premier surfacewater resource, with a basin area of 770,000 km2 (Coordinating Committee on Great Lakes Basic Hydraulic and Hydrologic Data 1977). The lakes cover an area of over 245,000 km2 and contain approximately 23,000 km3 of water. They contain about 18% of the world’s freshwater ...
متن کاملMeteotsunamis in the Laurentian Great Lakes
The generation mechanism of meteotsunamis, which are meteorologically induced water waves with spatial/temporal characteristics and behavior similar to seismic tsunamis, is poorly understood. We quantify meteotsunamis in terms of seasonality, causes, and occurrence frequency through the analysis of long-term water level records in the Laurentian Great Lakes. The majority of the observed meteots...
متن کاملForecasting the spread of invasive rainbow smelt in the Laurentian Great Lakes region of North America.
Rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) have invaded many North American lakes, often resulting in the extirpation of native fish populations. Yet, their invasion is incipient and provides the rationale for identifying ecosystems likely to be invaded and where management and prevention efforts should be focused. To predict smelt presence and absence, we constructed a classification-tree model based on h...
