Data collection is easier and many field-deployed sensors and equipment can withstand the conditions of a Midwestern heat in July.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what about changes in the winter? The historic assumption is that not a lot happens. Frozen conditions on the lake\u2019s surface render the normally shifting environment underneath quiet and undisturbed. However, researchers at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/limnology.wisc.edu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University of Wisconsin Madison Center for Limnology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are discovering that\u2019s not exactly true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s often difficult to sample, especially during bookends when ice is just freezing or when ice is thawing in the spring. It\u2019s just not safe to get out there,\u201d said Noah Lottig. \u201cSo we\u2019ve been working to develop platforms that can be deployed easily underneath the ice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In mid-to-late November, the underwater platforms that have sensors attached to them are deployed in one of several lakes monitored by Lottig and his research team at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lter.limnology.wisc.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Temperate Lakes Long Term Ecological Research network<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The sensors sit in the water until early May.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data from the fieldwork measuring heat exchange and oxygen abundance will inform questions regarding lake stratification, long term changes to water temperatures and the role weather has in influencing the physical dynamics of lakes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lottig hopes the data collected will also inform management decisions and guide modeling efforts to better understand biology in the ecosystem &#8211; like thermal habitat loss for the walleye species, which is an important game species in Wisconsin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To understand why recruitment for the organism is declining and the role climate change plays in that trend, scientists will need data that until recently was not feasible to collect. The necessary sensor technology was too expensive or wasn\u2019t accessible. And without data from previous decades, it\u2019s not easy to contextualize change over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, researchers at the Trout Lake Station, which operates under the University of Wisconsin\u2019s Center for Limnology, have benefited from the institution operating as a source of long-form research and data collection that few other places have had the luxury of working with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Utilized by academics from around the world, the Trout Lake Station functions as a temporary home for anyone interested in studying the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32359\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32359\" class=\"size-large wp-image-32359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Trout-Station_photo-1-600x401.jpg\" alt=\"Trout Lake\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Trout-Station_photo-1-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Trout-Station_photo-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Trout-Station_photo-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Trout-Station_photo-1.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-32359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">The crew from the Trout Lake Station\u2019s 2019 year sitting on a dock extending into one of the many inland lakes under the center\u2019s research.

Each summer, we have 9-10 core projects that have students working and living on-site,\u201d said Gretchen Gerrish, Trout Lake Station director. \u201cWe accept visitors from all over, as long as it\u2019s research based.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Originally founded in northern Wisconsin in 1925 and surrounded by lakes, Trout Lake Station got its start as a Long Term Research Ecological Research site in 1981 after funding was approved by the National Science Foundation. Catalyzed by a need for more robust research that tracks environmental changes over time, the station plays host to several research projects year-round.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One researcher from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire is studying the species richness and distribution patterns of mosses in different water habitats. Another researcher from UW Madison wants to better understand the relationship between yellow perch and rainbow smelt fish populations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the 2020 winter, two researchers periodically plowed the snow that blanketed the ice covering one of the many bogs in the region. They wanted to understand how sunlight affects the water chemistry and biological processes of organisms under the ice. <span class='bctt-click-to-tweet'><span class='bctt-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fondriest.com%2Fnews%2F%3Fp%3D32357&#038;text=With%20less%20snowfall%20leading%20to%20less%20snow%20cover%20in%20the%20region%2C%20the%20water%20column%20might%20be%20changing.&#038;via=FondriestEnv&#038;related=FondriestEnv' target='_blank'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">With less snowfall leading to less snow cover in the region, the water column might be changing. <\/a><\/span><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fondriest.com%2Fnews%2F%3Fp%3D32357&#038;text=With%20less%20snowfall%20leading%20to%20less%20snow%20cover%20in%20the%20region%2C%20the%20water%20column%20might%20be%20changing.&#038;via=FondriestEnv&#038;related=FondriestEnv' target='_blank' class='bctt-ctt-btn'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share on X<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then there\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/gleon.org\/\">Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network<\/a> (GLEON), which interprets and disseminates high-resolution sensor data to help understand the response of lakes around the world. That could be modeling the metabolism across lake gradients, mapping climate change\u2019s effects on spring-winter runoff and lake productivity or assessing mussel and zooplankton\u2019s importance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTrout Lake Station has a long history and has been instrumental in developing approaches for deploying high-frequency sensors on lakes for monitoring a variety of water quality parameters,\u201d Lottig said. \u201cTwo of the founding members (of GLEON) were researchers that did that kind of work at the Trout Lake Station.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the early \u201880s, those scientists have deployed different versions of high-frequency sensing platforms on the lakes. Where earlier sensors were only built to measure dissolved oxygen and water temperature, newer ones can quantify a multitude of different chemical and physical dynamics of lakes, including carbon dioxide and methane, two primary contributors to the world\u2019s warming climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a current study, when looking at how levels of gas released into the atmosphere from lakes when ice cover melts, teams have deployed sensing platforms with eddy flux towers attached to them that monitor the output. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the high cost of that specific technology has made it inaccessible to most research centers, Lottig says sensor equipment has evolved a lot over the years and become more affordable.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32362\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32362\" class=\"size-large wp-image-32362\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Trout-Station_photo-3-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"Trout Lake\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Trout-Station_photo-3-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Trout-Station_photo-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Trout-Station_photo-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Trout-Station_photo-3.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-32362\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">An Eddy flux tower resting on ice. In the winter, researchers placed eddy flux instruments to monitor the output of gas exiting lakes as temperatures get warmer. (Courtesy of Noah Lottig)<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne of the things we see is as that as the cost of sensors decline, we\u2019re adding new sensors to the platforms,\u201d he said, adding that more scientists will be able to incorporate them \u201conce the cost becomes reasonable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Trout Lake Station has capitalized on the opportunity by running workshops to make sensing data more available in more lakes. In one example, teams are educating groups on how to build temperature strings on their own. Where commercial forms of the equipment cost upwards of $15,000 apiece, their slightly-less accurate versions cost only $700.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s bringing the community together to develop a knowledge base across agencies, academics and lake associations in a variety of different types of groups,\u201d Lottig said.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without the democratization of new and advanced equipment, research in understudied areas will continue to stymie efforts for scientists to understand their environment and managers to employ best practices in those regions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remembering the dearth of understanding of what happens in lakes when winter comes, a research team compiled much of the readily available research on what happens underneath ice in lakes around the world. They found studies completed at the UW Center for Limnology accounted for nearly half of all data globally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt has a big influence on the field and the ability of folks to ask and answer really interesting questions,\u201d said Lottig.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From short term grants to decades-long
