The objective of this project was to investigate under-ice processes in Lake Onego during the ice-covered period:
Under-ice convection and modelling
Automated underwater vehicles to determine the horizontal structure of convection cells
Effect of convective mixing on phytoplankton
Efficiency of the trophic level: phyto/zooplankton and microorganisms under the ice
Accumulation and release of greenhouse gases
History of land-use changes in the catchment area by studying sediment
Characterization of the ice cover using remote sensing from satellites and drones
Scientific exchanges and joint publications with our Russian partners
The Limnology Center organized seven field expeditions in close collaboration with the Northern Water Problems Institute. Check our blog for our experiences in March and June 2016.
