CHANGES Project - Limnology (LIMN)

Creator:: Alofs, Karen, Schell, Justin, King, Katelyn, Thomer, Andrea, Wehrly, Kevin, and Lopez-Fernandez, Hernan
Description:: Archives at the Institute for Fisheries Research (IFR) hold records of thousands of lake surveys from the University of Michigan and Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The records contained in this dataset are jpeg images of the index card records from the IFR surveys. Images include the front of the card and when available, the back of a card. and Limnology is the study of lakes and bodies of freshwater. These cards include tabulated data of temperature and oxygen profiles, the temperature and oxygen concentrations at different depths.
Keyword:: Lake, oxygen, temperature, profile data, and depth

Description:: Archives at the Institute for Fisheries Research (IFR) hold records of thousands of lake surveys from the University of Michigan and Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The records contained in this dataset are jpeg images of the index card records from the IFR surveys for Water Analysis (WATR). Images include the front of the card and when available, the back of a card. and Water analysis cards include information on water profile data. Profile data are the depth and corresponding temperature, oxygen content, and alkalinity.
Keyword:: lake profiles, depth, oxygen, temperature, and alkalinity

The records contained in this dataset are jpeg images of the index card records from the IFR surveys. Images include the front of the card and when available, the back of a card. and Lake Summary cards include information about the lake location and its characteristics, such as lake depth, water chemistry, water color, and transparency (commonly measured as Secchi depth). There is information on surrounding characteristics such as its connectivity to other waterbodies, shoreline conditions, and surrounding land-use. This card also lists the fishes present in the lake and makes observations about fishing pressure, parasites, and reproduction.
Keyword:: lake, fishes, depth, land use, temperature, thermocline, fishing pressure, and Secchi depth
