Climate change is causing lake heatwaves to become more frequent, intense and long-lasting, a new DkIT study warns.
Lake heatwaves-periods of extreme warm surface water in lakes-may increase in intensity and duration by the end of the twenty-first century, suggests a modelling study completed by Dundalk Institute of Technology (Institute) researchers which was published this week in Nature. The study indicates that, under a high-greenhouse-gas-emissions scenario, the average duration of lake heatwaves could increase by around three months on average and some lakes may reach a permanent heatwave state.
The increasing frequency of heatwaves over land and the sea surface has been linked to global warming. However, less is known about lake heatwaves and how they will be affected by global warming. Lake ecosystems are vulnerable to temperature changes, and how lakes respond to global warming affects the organisms that depend on these environments.
