Wintertime Coastal Upwelling in Lake Geneva: An Efficient Transport Process for Deepwater Renewal in a Large, Deep Lake
David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Andrea Cimatoribus, Rafael Sebastian Reiss
Combining field measurements, 3‐D numerical modeling, and Lagrangian particle tracking, we investigated wind‐driven, Ekman‐type coastal upwelling during the weakly stratified winter period 2017/2018 in Lake Geneva, Western Europe's largest lake (max. depth ...
2020Global warming affects nutrient upwelling in deep lakes
Alfred Johny Wüest, Robert Vincent Schwefel
Measures to reduce lake phosphorus concentrations have been encouragingly successful in many parts of the world. After significant eutrophication in the twentieth century, nutrient concentrations have declined in many natural settings. In addition to these ...
2019The phantom midge menace: Migratory Chaoborus larvae maintain poor ecosystem state in eutrophic inland waters
Chaoborus spp. (phantom midge) are prevalent in eutrophic inland waters. In Lake Soppen, Switzerland, C. flavicans larvae diurnally migrate between the methane-rich, oxygen-depleted hypolimnion and sediments, and the methane-poor, oxygen-rich epilimnion. U ...
2018Tributaries affect the thermal response of lakes to climate change
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard
Thermal responses of inland waters to climate change varies on global and regional scales. The extent of warming is determined by system-specific characteristics such as fluvial input. Here we examine the impact of ongoing climate change on two alpine trib ...
European Geosciences Union2018The Chaoborus pump: Migrating phantom midge larvae sustain hypolimnetic oxygen deficiency and nutrient internal loading in lakes
Hypolimnetic oxygen demand in lakes is often assumed to be driven mainly by sediment microbial processes, while the role of Chaoborus larvae, which are prevalent in eutrophic lakes with hypoxic to anoxic bottoms, has been overlooked. We experimentally meas ...
Elsevier2017Oxygen depletion in Lake Geneva
Low oxygen concentrations remain a global concern for the ecological health of lakes. High nutrient inputs and climate-induced changes in stratification and mixing are anthropogenic threats which largely impact aquatic oxygen budgets and overall ecosystem ...
EPFL2017Are flood-driven turbidity currents hot spots for priming effect in lakes?
In deep stratified lakes, such as Lake Geneva, flood-driven turbidity currents are thought to contribute to the replenishment of deep oxygen by significant transport of river waters saturated with oxygen into the hypolimnion. The overarching aim of this st ...
Copernicus GmbH2016Effects of climate change on deepwater oxygen and winter mixing in a deep lake (Lake Geneva): Comparing observational findings and modeling
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Robert Vincent Schwefel, Adrien Gaudard
Low concentrations of dissolved oxygen remain a global concern regarding the ecological health of lakes and reservoirs. In addition to high nutrient loads, climate-induced changes in lake stratification and mixing represent additional anthropogenic menace ...
American Geophysical Union2016Effects of climate change on deep-water oxygen and winter mixing in a deep lake (Lake Geneva)
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Robert Vincent Schwefel
Oxygen is the most important dissolved gas for lake ecosystems. Because low oxygen concentrations are an ongoing problem in many parts of the oceans and numerous lakes, oxygen depletion processes have been intensively studied over the last decades and were ...
2016Wind variability and sheltering effects on measurements and modeling of air-water exchange for a small lake
Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort
Lakes with a surface area of less than 10 km^2 account for over 50% of the global cumulative lake surface water area, and make up more than 99% of the total number of global lakes, ponds, and wetlands. Within the boreal regions as well as some temperate an ...
