Science tells us how the Cumbrian Lakes are changing… our monitoring, dating back to 1945, reveals the day-to-day, month-to-month and decade-to-decade story of these sensitive ecosystems – resulting in one of the world’s most comprehensive lake datasets.
Lake ecosystems are extremely sensitive to environmental stressors and act as ‘sentinels’ of environmental change – on global, regional and local scales.
Our scientists undertake fortnightly visits to four basins in the Cumbrian Lakes including North and South Windermere to record a range of physical, chemical and biological variables. We also operate automated monitoring stations.
Only with regular monitoring can we distinguish day-to-day variations from decadal-scale directional change, and provide insights into the underlying causes.
