Climate Change And Other Threats To World's Freshwater Goliaths

The video explores the research conducted by the Large Lakes Observatory on large lakes like Lake Superior, focusing on their biology, chemistry, physics, and geology. It highlights the impact of climate change on Lake Superior, using tools like robotic gliders to study warming and ice cover variations. The video also discusses sediment core studies for climate data and examines the ecological impact of nitrate buildup in lakes such as Lake Huron and Lake Erie.
