| Abstract | After a period of record heat and rainfall in West Greenland, lakes which had been clear and blue rapidly turned brown and murky, a change that typically takes thousands of years. The causes and consequences of this dramatic change are largely unknown. This project offers a rare chance to understand how entire lake ecosystems respond to such rapid and severe disturbances, particularly in the sensitive Arctic biome which includes 40% of the world’s lakes. These dramatic changes directly impact ec |
