Lakes as sentinels of climate change

Speaker: Dr Iestyn Woolway, Bangor School of Ocean Sciences

Lakes are highly sensitive to changes in climate, making them powerful indicators of environmental shifts. This talk will explore how lake ecosystems respond to rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and human activities. Through case studies and recent research, we will examine the role of lakes in detecting early signs of climate change, highlighting their importance in ecosystem monitoring and policy decision-making.
