Unraveling Lake Geneva's hypoxia crisis in the Anthropocene by Laura M. V. Soares, Olivia Desgué‐Itier, Cécilia Barouillet, Céline Casenave, Isabelle Domaizon, Victor Frossard, Nelson G. Hairston Jr., Andrea Lami, Bruno J. Lemaire, Georges‐Marie Saulnier, Frédéric Soulignac, Brigitte Vinçon‐Leite, Jean‐Philippe Jenny

“…This study introduces a novel model approach using 150 yr of limnological and paleolimnological data to evaluate the anthropogenic impacts on deep oxygen in Lake Geneva. Results highlight an increase in oxygen consumption rates due to cultural eutrophication, initially triggering historical hypoxia, subsequently exacerbated by reduced winter mixing induced by climate change. …”

Multi-column modelling of lake Geneva for climate applications by Romain Gaillard, Marjorie Perroud, Stéphane Goyette, Jérôme Kasparian

“…We assess a turbulence-closure $$k-\epsilon$$ k - ϵ multi-column lake model in standalone mode as a computationally-efficient alternative to a full three-dimensional hydrodynamic model in the case of Lake Geneva. While it struggles to reproduce some short-term features, the multi-column model reasonably reproduces the seasonal mean of the thermal horizontal and vertical structures governing heat and mass exchanges between the lake surface and the lower atmosphere (stratified period, thermocline depth, stability of the water column). …”

Waterborne Virus Transport and Risk Assessment in Lake Geneva Under Climate Change by Chaojie Li, Tamar Kohn

“…This study examines the impact of climate change on the fate, transport, and associated risks of four waterborne viruses in Lake Geneva. We used a coupled water quality‐microbial risk assessment model to estimate virus concentrations and associated risks to recreational water users for each month in 2019 and 2060. …”

Gyre formation in open and deep lacustrine embayments: the example of Lake Geneva, Switzerland by Lemmin, U., Bouffard, D., Wüest, A., Uittenbogaard, R. E, Barry, D. A, Razmi, A. M., Uittenbogaard, R. E., Barry, D. A., Razmi, Amir Mehdi

“…The numerical findings are consistent with gyre formation observed in two embayments located in Lake Geneva, Switzerland, and thus help explain flow patterns recorded in lacustrine shoreline regions.…”

In situ pelagic dataset from continuous monitoring: A mesocosm experiment in Lake Geneva (MESOLAC) by Viet Tran-Khac, Philippe Quetin, Isabelle Domaizon, Stéphan Jacquet, Laurent Espinat, Clémentine Gallot, Serena Rasconi

“…Nine pelagic mesocosms (about 3000 L, 3 m depth) were deployed in July 2019 in Lake Geneva near the shore of Thonon les Bains (France), simulating predicted climate scenarios (i.e. intense weather events) by applying a combination of forcing. …”

Strong bottom currents in large, deep Lake Geneva generated by higher vertical-mode Poincaré waves by Rafael Sebastian Reiss, Ulrich Lemmin, Claire Monin, David Andrew Barry

“…Here, by combining entire summer season current and temperature observations and 3D numerical modeling, we demonstrate that previously undetected vertical mode-two and mode-three Poincaré waves in 309-meter deep Lake Geneva (Switzerland/France) generate bottom-boundary layer currents up to 4 cm s−1. …”

Monitoring Mesoscale to Submesoscale Processes in Large Lakes with Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery: The Case of Lake Geneva by Seyed Mahmood Hamze-Ziabari, Mehrshad Foroughan, Ulrich Lemmin, David Andrew Barry

“…In the present study, Sentinel-1 SAR satellite imagery was used to detect gyres/eddies in a large lake (Lake Geneva). Comparing SAR images with realistic high-resolution numerical model results and in situ observations allowed for identification of distinct signatures of mesoscale gyres, which can be revealed through submesoscale current patterns. …”

Combined Earth observations reveal the sequence of conditions leading to a large algal bloom in Lake Geneva by Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi, Daniel Odermatt, Orlane Anneville, Oscar Sepúlveda Steiner, Rafael Sebastian Reiss, Marina Amadori, Marco Toffolon, Stéphan Jacquet, Tristan Harmel, Mortimer Werther, Frédéric Soulignac, Etienne Dambrine, Didier Jézéquel, Christine Hatté, Viet Tran-Khac, Serena Rasconi, Frédéric Rimet, Damien Bouffard

“…Here we examine a recent massive Uroglena bloom in Lake Geneva (Switzerland/France). We show that a certain sequence of meteorological conditions triggered this specific algal bloom event: heavy rainfall promoting excessive organic matter and nutrients loading, followed by wind-induced coastal upwelling, and a prolonged period of warm, calm weather. …”
