Relieving phosphorus loading is a key management tool for controlling Lake Erie
eutrophication. During the 1960s and 1970s, increased phosphorus inputs degraded water …

We present a technical analysis of all the recent modelling work that has been conducted to
support the adaptive management process in Lake Erie; the most biologically productive …

In large lakes, temporal variability is compounded by strong spatial variability associated
with mesoscale physical processes such as upwelling and basin-scale circulation. Here we …

Hypoxia, defined as dissolved oxygen (DO)< 2 mg/L, in the central basin of Lake Erie has
been studied since the mid‐1900s. Even so, spatial patterns of hypoxia, and episodic …

The examination of hypoxia in the hypolimnion of large lakes traditionally focuses on the
assessment of its spatial and temporal extent and its effect on water quality. In Lake Erie …

The circulation and exchange processes during summer stratification were examined using
time‐series data of horizontal velocity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen profiles during …

Hypoxic conditions continue to be an environmental concern in lakes, including those with
shallow and well‐mixed basins, such as the western basin of Lake Erie, in which hypoxia is …

A linked 1-dimensional thermal-dissolved oxygen model was developed and applied in the
central basin of Lake Erie. The model was used to quantify the relative contribution of …

A 1-dimensional, linked hydrodynamic and eutrophication model was developed and
calibrated with 19 years of observations (1987–2005) for the summer stratification period in …

Hypolimnetic oxygen depletion has been recognized as a problem in the central basin of
Lake Erie since the 1970s. However, recent expansion in distribution of the depletion after …
