Morning Limnology

A Moment From This Morning's Lake Sampling of Lake Mohonk
It's 8AM and I am Already Doing Science!

Collecting Water Samples from the Lake's profile at the surface, 20', and 40' down. We test the temperatures and pH levels of each depth. It's pretty cool; as we can tell when the lake begins to experience seasonal changes like lake turnover and summer thermoclines. We can also add this data to a 120-year history of lake data and determine if climate change is really affecting our lake and changing the normal temperatures and water quality levels.
