Eos Earth and Space Science News highlights paper by Miami scientists
Lake Lacawac, left, and Lake Giles have developed warmer surface waters and cooler deep waters due to increased browning over the past three decades, despite stable air temperatures. Miami researchers found that decreased clarity is a result of increases in annual precipitation and rising lake pH. The lakes are part of the Lacawac Sanctuary and Field Station in Pennsylvania, one of Miami’s partners in the Center for Aquatic and Watershed Sciences. A recent paper by Rachel Pilla, Miami University doctoral student in biology, is featured as a Research Spotlight on  Eos Earth and Space Science News.
