[ECOLOG-L] Special Session on Ecology of Hardwater Lakes at ASLO 2019 in San Juan, PR

[Bjoern Wissel]

Dear colleagues,

We are organizing a Special Session on Hardwater Lakes for the upcoming ASLO
meeting in San Juan P.R. in February 2019. These important, yet threatened
systems represent almost half of all standing inland waters and occur on
every continents except Antarctica. We hope to bring together a diverse
group of researchers to synthesize current knowledge and identify future
threats and opportunities.
The deadline for abstract submission October 22nd 2018.

Thanks and all the best, Bjoern Wissel


SS46 Structure, Function and Controls of Hardwater Lakes in a Changing Climate

Hardwater lakes occur on all continents except Antarctica and represent
almost half of all inland waters worldwide. Their prevalence in semi-arid to
sub-humid climate zones and unique hydrology makes these lakes particularly
vulnerable to climate change, water withdrawal and pollution, resulting in
substantial damage to both environmental and economic systems. Lake
morphometry, hydrology and water chemistry in these systems is often
different from those in boreal lakes, leading to large differences in
biogeochemical cycles and atmospheric exchange (CO2, CH4, N2O). In addition,
hardwater lakes often exhibit a highly diverse and/or specialized food-web
structure. Improved understanding of the role of these lakes in elemental
cycling and biological diversity is needed to improve surface water
management in continental interiors, protect ecosystems from irrevocable
damage (e.g., Aral Sea), and understand their effect on surface hydrology.
To address these shortcomings and enable future synthesis, we invite
contributions that evaluate biological, hydrological, physical, chemical
aspects of hardwater lakes.

[ECOLOG-L] Immediate MSc opportunity in Fish Ecology - Canada

[Bjoern Wissel]

Immediate MSc opportunity in Fish Ecology - Canada 

The Associate Director of the Institute of Environmental Change and Society
(IECS) at the University of Regina, Canada is inviting applications for a
fully-funded MSc project to study gamefish ecology in prairie hardwater
lakes to assess their vulnerability to possible future invasion of
zebra/quagga mussels (ZQM). See below for more information.
 
The preferable start date is June 2018, but no later than August 2018. In
addition to laboratory analyses, this projects has a large field component.
Previous experience with lake surveys, fish ecology, stable isotope
techniques and strong quantitative skills are critical assets. Please send
your cover letter, CV and names of two references to
bjoern.wis...@uregina.ca before May 15th 2018. Due to the short time line,
applications will be assessed as they come in. For further information
regarding this opportunity, please contact Dr. Bjoern Wissel
(bjoern.wis...@uregina.ca)


Stakeholder surveys identified that Saskatchewan (SK) prairie lakes are
highly valued for recreational fishing, with walleye being most desirable.
Provincial stocking programs sustain populations but survival and growth of
walleye depend on healthy ecosystems and readily available prey items. Past
food-web analyses indicated that winterkill is now the largest threat to
gamefish communities, eliminating them from many formerly populated lakes.
In addition, elevated parasite load in sub-saline lakes and warmer summers
reduce growth of walleye and other species. Stable isotope analyses showed
that walleye diet is largely derived from open-water habitats, while
shallow-water sources are of minor importance. This feeding strategy makes
walleye particularly vulnerable to the impacts of effective filter feeders,
such as zebra/quagga mussels (ZQM). Once ZQM invade a water body they can
dramatically reduce the productivity of open-water habitats, often resulting
in fish starvation. Large efforts are underway to prevent ZQM invasion in SK
lakes, but the proximity of ZQM along existing invasion corridors and lack
of public vigilance are major threats. To develop adaptive management
strategies that alleviate negative future impacts of ZQM on walleye (in
addition to existing stressors), a detailed analysis of their current diet
sources and energy requirements is needed. Accordingly, we will conduct a
2-year survey that will assess walleye condition and food sources in eight
smaller prairie lakes. Such smaller lakes are ideal systems for this study
as they are more sensitive to the impacts of climate change and ZQM and
therefore represent early-warning systems.

[ECOLOG-L] MSc or PhD student opportunity in "Lake metabolism of Canadian hardwater lakes: summer vs. winter controls"

[Bjoern Wissel]

Lake Metabolism MSc or PhD student opportunities

 

The Associate Director of the Institute of Environmental Change and Society
(IECS) at the University of Regina, Canada is inviting applications for two
fully-funded MSc or PhD projects to study seasonal patterns of lake
metabolism in Canadian hardwater lakes. Lakes across the northern Great
Plains are unique in their unparalleled biological, chemical, physical and
climate diversity, and represent ideal model systems to study the impacts of
land-use and climate change on lake metabolism. Combining standard
limnological techniques and stable isotope analyses, our
Long-term-Ecological-Research program (since 2002) has been evaluating
food-web structure, controls of gamefish populations, carbon dynamics and
hydrology of 21 prairie lakes in southern Saskatchewan. 

 

The long-term goal of this research program is to develop a mechanistic
framework for food-web-controls and biogeochemical cycling in hardwater
lakes. Specifically, the objectives are to characterize the impacts of
winter dynamics on summer food-web structure and carbon/nitrogen dynamics,
and predict individual and interactive effects of climate change on summer
vs. winter conditions. Ultimately, my group will synthesize similarities and
differences between boreal and hardwater lakes to assist global estimates
for climate change impacts on inland lakes. 

 

Specifically, the student projects will characterize oxygen and carbon
dynamics in hardwater lakes during the fall-winter-spring transition and
quantify the relative importance of metabolic, hydrologic, physical and
chemical processes to carbon pools and fluxes. In addition, we will assess
summer vs. winter zooplankton biomass, composition and food sources to
evaluate the importance of grazing during the spring peak in algal biomass
for carbon routing in hardwater lakes.

 

The preferable start date is May 2018, but no later than September 2018. In
addition to laboratory analyses, these projects have large field components,
including under-ice winter sampling. Previous experience with lake surveys,
stable isotope techniques and strong quantitative skills are critical
assets. Please send your cover letter, CV and names of two references to
bjoern.wis...@uregina.ca <mailto:bjoern.wis...@uregina.ca>  by March 23rd
2018.

 

 

For further information regarding these opportunities, please contact Dr.
Bjoern Wissel (bjoern.wis...@uregina.ca <mailto:bjoern.wis...@uregina.ca> ).

[Bjoern Wissel]

Graduate Student positions in Stable Isotope Ecology:

Impacts of climate and land-use on food-web structure and energy Flow in
prairie lakes

I am looking for two highly motivated graduate students at the MSc or PhD
level to take on two new projects related to food-web structure and energy
flow in prairie lakes. Prairie lakes are extremely dynamic and diverse
systems.  At the same time these lakes are very susceptible to multiple
stressors including climate, land use, and management practices.  Future
projects will include whole-lake experiments to study the interactions of
increasing salinity and fish predation.  As part of this study, metabolic
activity will be assessed by analyzing concentrations and stable isotopes of
dissolved oxygen and dissolved inorganic carbon to quantify the relative
importance of climate and land-use for the increasing frequency of
winterkill in prairie lakes. 

Students with an interest in aquatic ecology and stable isotope technology
are encouraged to apply.  The successful applicants are expected to
participate in field collections and laboratory analyses, including
microscopy and stable isotope analysis.  Financial support of $18,000 yr-1
will be provided though a combination of research and teaching
assistantships.  Starting date of the positions is negotiable, but will be
no later than fall 2011. 

The Department of Biology at the University of Regina has emerged as a
center for research and teaching excellence, providing quality undergraduate
teaching, graduate student training, and postdoctoral fellow mentorship.  In
addition to its modern facilities for advanced molecular and environmental
research, the Department of Biology is home to several of the top scientists
