These factors dictate what aquatic life is present. Water transparency depends on the amount of particles in the water \u2013 the more particles, the less transparent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the alpine lakes of the Rocky Mountains, transparency is largely controlled by the amount of dissolved organic matter from alpine vegetation and inorganic material from glaciers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glacial melt, snow melt, and rainfall are&nbsp;responsible for how the particles reach the lakes. As climate changes, temperatures are rising and precipitation patterns are shifting, inevitably leading to altered rates of material inputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climate change is accelerating glacial melt and vegetation advance, changing the alpine landscapes, and also the types and amounts of transparency-regulating materials entering the lakes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their research aims to compare lake responses to these rain and snowmelt driven inputs and use the results to enable more accurate predictions of responses over time, as the climate changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Short-Term Changes in Lake Transparency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Janet and Mark have been studying alpine lakes for the past 15 years. Through their research, they have observed the variation in lake transparency on an interannual scale (from one year to the next).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, their latest research aims to observe seasonal and short-term changes in the factors regulating lake transparency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They study a set of five lakes located in Banff and Yoho National Parks. The lakes share many attributes, but represent different phases of glacial loss and vegetation advance, and therefore catchment material differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Banff-Stream-Monitoring-Levleogger.jpg\" alt=\"levelogger water level datalogger deployed in alpine lake stilling well\" class=\"wp-image-3554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Banff-Stream-Monitoring-Levleogger.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Banff-Stream-Monitoring-Levleogger-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Banff-Stream-Monitoring-Levleogger-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Banff-Stream-Monitoring-Levleogger-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Banff-Stream-Monitoring-Levleogger-624x416.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption><em>Janet and Mark Taking Measurements for Apline Lake Research Project<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of undergraduate field assistants from Franklin &amp; Marshall College, sensors are deployed in&nbsp;the lakes during the ice-free season.
