2. 1. Response of Bolivian Altiplano Lakes to Seasonal and Annual Climate Variations

   Author : Ramiro Pillco; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ENSO; terminal lake; bathymetry; lake level; water balance; lake routing; paleolakes; climate change; precipitation pattern; intermittent rivers.; Desaguadero River; Lake Titicaca; Lake Poopó;

   Abstract : The Bolivian Altiplano is situated between two mountain ranges, the western and eastern central Andes in South America. It has two major lakes, Lake Titicaca to the north, and Lake Poopó to the south, which both are important for the nature as well as for the living conditions on the Altiplano. The two lakes are the remnants of large paleolakes. READ MORE

4. 2. Data preparation, hydrodynamic and contaminant transport shallow-water simulations of Lake Victoria

   Author : Seema Paul; Vladimir Cvetkovic; Jesper Oppelstrup; Roger Thunvik; Felix Mtalo; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lake bathymetry model; Steady-state analysis; Numerical model validation; Lake water balance; Correlation and seasonal variations; Solute transport; Vattendjupskarta; Validering av numerisk modell; Vattenbalans; Korrelationer och säsongs-variation; Transport av lösliga ämnen; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

   Abstract : This study explores shallow lake numerical hydrodynamic processes that support model development and validation, extreme events and effects of water circulation in Lake Victoria. Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world, and the largest in East Africa. READ MORE

5. 3. Lake bathymetry as driver of salmonid population size structure and biomass

   Author : Sven Norman; Pär Byström; Karin A. Nilsson; Jan Karlsson; Per-Arne Amundsen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lake bathymetry; habitat-specific resource production; ontogenetic niche shifts; size structure; Arctic char; brown trout; populationsbiologi; Population Biology; Limnology; limnologi; zooekologi; Animal Ecology;

   Abstract : Most fish species undergo ontogenetic niche shifts from feeding on pelagic zooplankton, to larger benthic invertebrates and in some cases also to fish. These ontogenetic niche shifts have strong impact on the interactions within and between species, with effects on individual growth, population abundance and food web dynamics. READ MORE

6. 4. Lake Hydrodynamics and Pollution Transport under Climate Change : The Case of Lake Victoria

   Author : Seema Paul; Henrik Ernstson; Zahra Kalantari; Abhijit Mukherjee; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bathymetry mapping; model verification; water balance; correlation; tracer transport; wind hydrodynamics; pollution and nutrient transport; climate effect; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

   Abstract : A very small part of the total earth’s water is freshwater (only 2.5 %). Unfortunately, due to climate change and pervasive manmade activities, surface freshwater quality in many places of the world has become degraded. READ MORE
