Effects 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 ...
2016Impact of deepwater mixing on hypoxia in Lake Geneva
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Robert Vincent Schwefel
Lake Geneva is recovering from its eutrophic past but no significant trend in the areal hypolimnetic oxygen depletion rate has been observed over the last 30 years. Due to the large depth of 309 m, the lake is not mixed completely every winter which can le ...
2015Sediment oxygen uptake in Lake Geneva
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Robert Vincent Schwefel
Between 1960 and 1980, the trophic state of Lake Geneva (situated between France and Switzerland) has changed from oligotrophic to eutrophic. Since then, the areal hypolimnetic oxygen demand of 1.31 gm-2 d-1 is now the highest measured in Switzerland and l ...
