While the impacts of atmospheric rivers on Arctic and marine settings are well studied, their influence on lakes is less understood. 🌧️

A 2026 study characterizes the long-term influence on lake ice phenology.

🌊 July is #LakesAppreciation Month! 💙

From #swimming & #fishing to drinking #water & #wildlife habitat, #lakes sustain life.

📣Shoutout to the @nalms.bsky.social (#NALMS) for leading the way in #lakescience, #outreach, & #conservation across the USA, Canada & Mexico! 🌎🌿.

Such a wonderful week at the @ialipa2025.bsky.social conference, and what better location than at the shores of #LacBourget! 🏔️

And as if all the great #lakescience 🎤🗺️ wasn't inspiring enough, there was also local #wine tasting 🍷, a boat tour 🛥️ and #seismics and #coring demos! 👷🏻‍♀️

A common restoration method is dredging, which removes pollutants from sediment. However, the environmental impacts are still debated.

A 2025 study examined the water quality of an Egyptian lake before and after dredging.

🧊The interactions of freezing soils and groundwater are understudied in saline systems, where salinity may add to the complexity of this interaction. A 2025 paper investigated this in China’s Badain Jaran Desert.

Organic carbon burial (OCB) is a key component of the carbon cycle, and burial in lake sediments accounts for the vast majority of this process.

However, the response of OCB in lakes to seasonal and long-term temperature changes is uncertain.
