Fantastic day teaching Lancaster Environment Centre MSc students involving UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Freshwater Biological Association (FBA) Natural England NW about #lake #monitoring. From UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology's #CitSci #BloominAlgae app to traditional #watersampling that forms UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology #longterm #monitoring programme to Riverfly Partnership &their complementarity

Rivers which are downstream of lakes often turn green at this time of year. This post suggests one possible reason why - and, no, it has nothing to do with excess nutrients: bit.ly/3MhNXMs

Trine Bregstein doing a fab job taking us through the evolution of Riverfly Partnership as well as our new Freshwater Biological Association (FBA) project #Lakefly. Great #CitSci project that empowers volunteers, provides key data and drives action, such as fining utility companies for pollution incidents #CumbLakeRF

Reflecting on a really good day at the Cumbrian Lakes Research Forum #CumbLakeRF. Excellent talks across a whole range of topics relevant to freshwaters: importance of lake sediment records, need for collaborative working on restoration and evidence, engaging with water users.

We hosted the 8th Cumbrian Lakes Research Forum recently with great contributions from a range of speakers. Thanks to all who took part!

A #Marl -vellous #PhD opportunity to investigate the #ecological mysteries of #Marl #lakes using #palaeolimnological techniques at the University of Sterling. Supported by myself. For more information see: findaphd.com/phds/project/u… iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/u…

Science tells us how the Cumbrian Lakes are changing… our monitoring, dating back to 1945, reveals the day-to-day and decade-to-decade story of these sensitive ecosystems. Data from nature, for nature 💙 ceh.ac.uk/data-nature?ut… LoveWindermere UKCEH Lake Ecosystems #DataNature

Only with regular monitoring can we distinguish day-to-day variations from decadal-scale directional change, and provide insights into underlying causes. uk-scape.ceh.ac.uk/our-science/pr… #DataNature
