TL;DR: The role of lakes in carbon cycling and global climate, examine the mechanisms influencing carbon pools and transformations in lakes, and discuss how the metabolism of carbon in the inland waters is likely to change in response to climate.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The seafloor beneath this Arctic sector is hypothesized as an important sink of plastic debris given the limited surface transport of the plastic that accumulated here and the mechanisms acting for the downward transport, which would be a dead end for this plastic conveyor belt.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decadal Trends and Common Dynamics of the Bio-Optical and Thermal Characteristics of the African Great Lakes
Steven Loiselle,Andrés Cózar,Enyew Adgo,Thomas J. Ballatore,Geoffrey Chavula,Jean-Pierre Descy,David M. Harper,Frank Kansiime,Ismael A. Kimirei,Victor Langenberg,Ronghua Ma,Hugo Sarmento,Eric O. Odada +12 more
TL;DR: A systematic comparison of the dynamics of the bio-optical and thermal properties of thirteen of the largest African lakes between 2002 and 2011 provides new insights into the response of these ecosystems to global and regional drivers.
Book ChapterDOI
Remote Sensing of African Lakes: A Review
TL;DR: In this article, a wide range of applications of both passive and active remote sensing to African lakes are reviewed, which fall into five main categories: (1) visible, NIR, thermal and microwave sensing of lake area; (2) altimetric and gravimetric sensing of lakes level; (3) thermal sensing of the lake surface temperature; (4) optical sensing of macrophytes; and (5) optical imaging of trophic conditions including chlorophyll-a and euphotic depth.
