Understanding the Susceptibility of the Tropical Proglacial Environment in Peru Using Optical Imagery and Radon Measurements

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2023
The tropical glaciers of the Cordillera Blanca have played host to some of the most significant mass movements ever recorded in the world and Peru; many proglacial lakes formed in this mountain range have natural dikes made of moraine material, which, if

Dynamics of Vibrio cholerae in a Typical Tropical Lake and Estuarine System: Potential of Remote Sensing for Risk Mapping

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Vibrio cholerae, the bacterium responsible for the disease cholera, is a naturally-occurring bacterium, commonly found in many natural tropical water bodies. In the context of the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets on health (Goal 3), water

Seasonal variation of Microcystis aeruginosa and factors related to blooms in a deep warm monomictic lake in Mexico

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2021
The occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms has increased globally over the last decades, with the combined effect of climate change and eutrophication as its main drivers. The seasonal dynamic of cyanobacterial blooms is a well-known phenomenon in lakes and

Food web differences between two neighboring tropical high mountain lakes and the influence of introducing a new top predator.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
High mountain lakes (HMLs) are considered unique and comparable ecosystems for monitoring global climate change. The food web structure can indicate the response of these ecosystems to ecological threats, such as fish introduction, by analyzing the ...

Ensemble Modeling of the Impact of Climate Warming and Increased Frequency of Extreme Climatic Events on the Thermal Characteristics of a Sub-Tropical Lake

open access: yesWater, 2020
Lake ecosystems are impacted by changes in climatic conditions. Climate changes forecasted to occur are reflected in models by slow gradual changes over extended periods of time.

Nitrogen is unlikely to consistently limit primary productivity in most tropical lakes

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Despite mounting evidence that tropical lakes may experience an array of phytoplankton nutrient limitation regimes, references to low‐latitude lakes being predominantly nitrogen limited remain common in the literature. To assess the current understanding

The influence of hydroclimatic conditions and water quality on evaporation rates of a tropical lake

open access: yes, 2020
The present paper analyses the influence of hydroclimatic forcing and water quality on the evaporation process of Lake Santo Anastacio, a tropical lake with capacity of about 0.4 hm3 and maximum depth of 5 m, located in the city of Fortaleza, Ceara ...

Water Balance for a Tropical Lake in the Volcanic Highlands: Lake Tana, Ethiopia

open access: yesWater, 2020
Lakes hold most of the freshwater resources in the world. Safeguarding these in a changing environment is a major challenge. The 3000 km2 Lake Tana in the headwaters of the Blue Nile in Ethiopia is one of these lakes.
