Lakes and other confined water bodies are not exposed to tides, and their wind forcing is
usually much weaker compared to ocean basins and estuaries. Hence, convective …

Abstract The African Great Lakes are under threat from global and local environmental
challenges including climatic change, water pollution and overfishing. To address those …

We characterize stratification patterns over diel, seasonal, and annual time scales in inshore
and offshore regions of Lake Victoria, East Africa; determine conditions leading to horizontal …

The ability of the one-dimensional lake model FLake to represent the mixolimnion
temperatures for tropical conditions was tested for three locations in East Africa: Lake Kivu …

In this paper, we project future changes in the hydrodynamics of Lake Tanganyika under a
high emission scenario using the three-dimensional (3D) version of the Second-generation …

Lake Tanganyika, the deepest and most voluminous lake in Africa, has warmed over the last
century in response to climate change. Separate analyses of surface warming rates …

We make use of a unique high-quality, long-term observational dataset on a tropical lake to
assess the effect of rainfall on lake surface temperature. The lake in question is Lake Kivu …

In large lakes subject to the Coriolis force, basin-scale gyres and mesoscale eddies, ie
rotating coherent water masses, play a key role in spreading biochemical materials and …

Identifying patterns in genetic structure and the genetic basis of ecological adaptation is a
core goal of evolutionary biology and can inform the management and conservation of …
