<i>Research opportunity: </i>Rapid declines in the duration of lake
ice cover have been observed across much of the temperate zone. However, study of lakes during winter remains
rare. This research program will combine
field-based sampling and modeling approaches to assess how declining periods of
ice cover will affect lake oxygen dynamics and lake biogeochemistry. </span></p>
