TLDR
In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of how remote sensing can support lake research and monitoring, i.e., water transparency (suspended particulate matter, coloured dissolved organic matter, Secchi disc depth, diffuse attenuation coefficient, turbidity), biota (phytoplankton, cyanobacteria, submerged and emerged aquatic vegetation), bathymetry, water temperature (surface temperature) and ice phenology (ice cover, ice on, ice-out).

Monitoring inland water quality using remote sensing: potential and limitations of spectral indices, bio-optical simulations, machine learning, and cloud computing

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of water quality remote sensing systems and their limitations is presented, and the authors conclude that anomaly detection utilizing multi-sensor data fusion and virtual constellation in cloud computing is the most promising means for predicting impending water pollution outbreaks such as algal blooms.

Storm impacts on phytoplankton community dynamics in lakes

Jason D. Stockwell, +44 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive synthesis is provided that identifies how storms interact with lake and watershed attributes and their antecedent conditions to generate changes in lake physical and chemical environments and suggests future research directions across a gradient of lake types and environmental conditions.

Development and validation of a global database of lakes, reservoirs and wetlands

TL;DR: The Global Lakes and Wetlands Database (GLWD) as mentioned in this paper was created by combining the best available sources for lakes and wetlands on a global scale and the application of Geographic Information System (GIS) functionality enabled the generation of a database which focuses in three coordinated levels on (1) large lakes and reservoirs, (2) smaller water bodies, and (3) wetlands.
