Water quality variation through space and time in Flückigersee in Seepark

Problem statement:

The Seepark floating bridge offers a low cost monitoring platform for depth profile sampling of Flückigersee. However, it is unclear how spatially heterogeneous the Flückigersee is and whether samples from the floating bridge would be representative of the lake as a whole.

The aim of the work:

To regularly sample the Flückigersee as a basis for long-term limnological monitoring and site selection. Compile any and all publicly available data from Flückigersee.

Method:

Field sampling from the floating bridge and small, self-powered boats. Operation of GPS, water samplers, aquatic sensors.
