Investigating the Crucial Factors Impacting the Accuracy of Machine Learning Models for Lake Surface Water Temperature and Ice Thickness Prediction
… change is having a profound impact on freshwater ecosystems, with lakes being highly sensitive to environmental changes. In recent years, the increasing popularity of machine learning techniques in this field can be attributed to their ability to analyze intricate patterns and relationships …

Interannual Variability of Lotic Macroinvertebrate Communities in the Kootenay-Columbia Basin, BC: the Relative Contribution of Environmental Gradients vs. Stream Water Temperatures
Climate change is predicted to impact freshwater ecosystems through interannual variability in surface water temperature, discharge, and physiochemical water characteristics. Benthic macroinvertebrate communities (BMI) are often used to assess biological impacts of long-term environmental changes. …

Climate Change in Buffalo, NY
… Lake Erie. My hypotheses are that average winter temperatures and snowfall should be increasing, Lake Erie should be freezing at a later date, and Lake Erie’s ice cover should affect snowfall amounts. The warmer temperatures would lead to Lake Erie’s surface water temperature being higher, …

An energy-efficient P2P protocol for validating measurements in wireless sensor networks
… real WSN deployments, which include indoor air temperature, sea surface water temperature and seismic wave amplitude sensors. Our results show that our P2P protocol can accurately detect errors and simultaneously extend the e ective WSN lifetime dramatically compared to the centralized protocol.

Seasonal and lunar patterns of peach blossom jellyfish (Craspedacusta sowerbii) in Michigan
… (Craspedacusta sowerbii) is the only freshwater medusa found in the United States, yet its distribution, abundance, and mechanisms of dispersal remain poorly understood. Given its uncertain status, understanding the ecology of this species is a priority. To characterize population dynamics …

OVERLOOKED AND UNDERSTUDIED: A SURVEY OF THE SMALL AND HIDDEN FRESHWATER INVERTEBRATE TAXA (PHYLUM ROTIFERA AND SUBPHYLUM CRUSTACEA)
… 400 miles, and now includes the Lake Ontario watershed for the first time. It is commonly believed that the international aquaculture industry and aquarium fish trade are the most likely vectors of dispersal for N. japonicus. Monitoring the spread of non-indigenous aquatic species is a crucial …

Assessing the current status of local floodplain fisheries in the Okavango river, Kavango region, Namibia
… river’s and is an integral part of a healthy watercourse. It is believed that flooding may nurture life in and around rivers as the waters transport nutrient-rich sediments that contribute to a fertile environment for growth of plants that maintain and support biota. Particularly, these …

Ecohydrology of Natural and Restored Wetlands in a Glacial Plain
… loss in the past. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and the 1989 federal mandate of “no net wetland loss” supported increased efforts for wetland restoration and creation to compensate for two centuries of ecosystem degradation. Hydrology is a critical driver for wetland formation and …

Assessing Hydrologic Connectivity using Water Temperature, Wax Lake Delta, Louisiana
… platform to collect high quality continuous water temperature, water depth, air temperature, and shortwave solar radiation from a portion of Wax Lake Delta from February 18 through May 19, 2015. We use this field data to create a reference model of predicted water temperature at the data …
