Meet Zhou Liang, a postdoc joining Emily Zakem lab. Zhou earned his PhD in Chemical Oceanography 🌊from @floridastate and studies how nutrients and organic matter interact with marine microbes, using lab and modeling to map ocean productivity. Welcome, Zhou!👋

The world’s lakes are freezing over for shorter periods due to climate change. This has major implications for human safety, as well as water quality, biodiversity & global nutrient cycles, according to a new review led by Carnegie Science’s Stephanie Hampton. carnegiescience.edu/news/loss-lake…

“The average duration of iced-over conditions has decreased by 31 days over the last 165 years and thousands of lakes that historically froze over every winter now experience ice-free years,” Hampton explains. “This has major implications for communities around the world.”

The paper makes the case that studying lakes during wintertime—traditionally avoided due to logistical challenges and safety concerns—must be undertaken by ecologists around the world in order to truly understand the wide-ranging risks posed by ice loss.

Shorter ice duration and warmer temperatures put lakes at greater risk for water quality impairments, have implications for lake biodiversity, and affect the global carbon and water cycles, among other concerns, say Stephanie Hampton and her co-authors.

“Looking ahead, we need to invest in a deeper understanding of the crucial roles that lake ice plays in the health of our planet and in the communities that depend on these bodies of water,” Stephanie Hampton concludes.

.Stephanie Hampton is at the forefront of advancing safe research protocols in ice conditions. Earlier this year, she and her collaborators hosted “winter school” in Wisconsin, where early career researchers were trained in how to safely take samples from iced-over bodies of water.
