Seasonal Factors Contributing to Deepwater DO Losses

A typical example of Adirondack Park water is Rondaxe Lake in Herkimer County, New York. However, Rondaxe, like thousands of lakes in temperate zones around the world, has been losing a global-warming battle to keep oxygen in its waters during the last quarter-century.

Global Warming Prompts Oxygen Deprivation in the Lakes

New research from Cornell University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute shows a continually warming world is leading to extended, late-summer weeks of water stratification in lakes, which prompts oxygen deprivation in the water - provoking conditions called hypoxia (low oxygen) and anoxia (no oxygen) - and negative consequences for fish and other species.
