Climate change and other anthropogenic stressors have led to long-term changes in the
thermal structure, including surface temperatures, deepwater temperatures, and vertical
thermal gradients, in many lakes around the world. Though many studies highlight warming
of surface water temperatures in lakes worldwide, less is known about long-term trends in
full vertical thermal structure and deepwater temperatures, which have been changing less
consistently in both direction and magnitude. Here, we present a globally-expansive data set …
