High mountain lakes are extreme freshwater ecosystems and excellent sentinels of current global change. They are likely among the most comparable ecosystems across the world. The largest contrast occurs between lakes in temperate and tropical areas. The main difference arises from the seasonal patterns of heat exchange and the external loadings (carbon, phosphorus, metals). The consequence is a...

The chemical composition of sediments from the Arctic mountain Lake Bolshoy Vudjavr, situated in western part Russian zone, was studied. lake has been under intense anthropogenic load for more than 90 years since development richest apatite–nepheline deposits world started. A 27 cm thick sediment core sampled central at maximum depth 37.4 m. concentrations 50 elements were analyzed by mass spec...

Introduction Lake Tahoe resides in a high elevation basin separated from the Sacramento Valley by the dominant Sierra Nevada divide along the Crystal Range. Lower ridges of the Carson Range to the east separate the lake from the Great Basin. These physical attributes define atmospheric processes in the Tahoe basin as much as define hydrological processes. The presence of the cold lake at the bo...
