SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF ALPINE LAKES OF WASATCH AND UINTA
Alpine lakes (lakes located at elevations above 2500~3000 meters) are some of the less studied ecosystems in the world. This is partially related to their location and accessibility. Therefore, the common perception is that they must be pristine (healthy) ecosystems. Recent events, however, have changed this view. Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) which are toxic to both lake inhabitants and humans have been reported from a handful of alpine lakes. While climate change and urban/agricultural development have been accounted responsible for HAB events in lower elevation lakes, the origin of HAB events in alpine lakes remains unclear. During the summer of 2018, we established multiple pilot sites at various alpine lakes in Ashley National Forest and Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. We collected biweekly and monthly biological and physical samples from these lakes and deployed sensors for yearlong continuous measurements of water quality parameters. The long-term goal of this multiyear project is to determine the role of climate change in recent increase in frequency of HABs in alpine lakes.
