Study reveals how dissolved organic matter in the Great Lakes ice may impact spring melt

Study reveals how dissolved organic matter in the Great Lakes ice may impact spring melt
Great Lakes Echo
By Riley Wilson Ice covering the Great Lakes stores organic carbon, which is released in a burst during spring melt. As climate change reduces ice cover, researchers say this seasonal surge of energy may be shrinking, with uncertain consequences for these freshwater systems.
