Sampling microplastic at Patagonian Lakes, project MappA

Dr Facundo Scordo and me sampling microplastic at Gutierrez lake (Patagonia)for the project MappA lead by Dr Belen Alfonso. MappA is a national research network for studying microplastics presence in diverse freshwater systems under comparable and up-to-date methodologies

Fieldwork and results of the Invasive Quagga Mussel Survival Test for Pyramid Lake project

co-PI, the project was funded by The Pyramid Lake Fisheries $178k

Fieldwork at Lake Tahoe

Project lead, “Impacts of Smoke-Ash from the 2021 Wildfires to the Ecology of Lake Tahoe” funded by Tahoe Science Advisory Council

Fieldwork and experiments at Crater Lake

We found that invasive crayfish (introduced at the beginning of the century) are deteriorating the coastal environment of the clearest lake in the world (Crater Lake, Oregon, USA). An environmental tragedy, which demonstrates the importance of evaluating environmental impacts before making changes to ecosystems.

Is collaborative management always possible? The case of Sauce Grande River Basin, Argentina

Published in International Journal of River Basin Management , 2018

Given the practical and theoretical relevance that stakeholders’ participation has achieved in the frame of new approaches for watershed management, this paper aims to identify the possibility of implementing a collaborative strategy in the particular case of the Sauce Grande River Basin (SGRB), Argentina.

Paleoenvironmental Reconstructions Improve Ecosystem Services Risk Assessment: Case Studies From Two Coastal Lagoons In South America

Published in Water, 2018

We propose that the long-term history of the ecosystem provides valuable information that augments and strengthens an ES risk assessment and that it should be considered routinely when undertaking risk assessments. We adjusted a standard ecosystem-based risk management (EBRM) protocol to include paleoenvironmental data, and tested the modified approach on two coastal lagoons in South America

Characterization of algal community composition and structure from the nearshore environment, Lake Tahoe (United States)

Published in Front. Ecol. Evol.Sec. Paleoecology, 2023

A voucher flora, complete with descriptions, photo-documentation and referencing to species concepts employed, was created as a method of providing reproducible identification and enumeration of algal species, and more seamless reconciliation of detailed taxonomic data with future monitoring projects.

Human impact changes hydrological connectivity in a Patagonian fluvial basin

Published in Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2023

We analyzed the interannual fluctuation in the surface area of Cronómetro Lake (January 2000 to January 2021). We also studied the periods of humidity and drought and the anthropogenic activities in the lake basin to understand their impact on water availability within the basin.

Habitat-specific metabolism and nutrient limitation within an oligotrophic Patagonian Lake

Published in Hydrobiologia, 2024

We used submerged high frequency sensors that measure light, temperature, and dissolved oxygen and wind data to calculate GPP and R in both lake habitats. In addition, we carry out nutrient enrichment bioassays with nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate to determine which nutrient(s) limit algal growth in each lake habitat

UNDERSTANDING THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF PAMPEAN SHALLOW LAKES THROUGH PROCESS GEOMORPHOLOGY

Published: March 18, 2020

Abstract: More than 13,000 shallow lakes reside today in the Pampean Region of Argentina. Besides their importance for the agricultural and economic sustainability of this region, there is limited knowledge about their origin and evolution and, in particular, about their fate as they face climate change. In this work, we reconstruct the origin and history four shallow Pampeman lakes, namely Puan, Los Chilenos, Sauce Grande, and La Salada based on process geomorphology being them examples of a large percentage of the shallow lakes present in the region. Results indicate that landscape evolution and basin formation in the Pampean Region have been strongly controlled by neotectonism in the Late Pleistocene, and Holocene climate variability. The basins where the lakes are located were formed by deflation in the case of Puan and La Salada, by fluvial, tectonic and eolian processes in Los Chilenos, and by fluvial, eolian, and coastal processes in Sauce Grande. After 1000 yr before present, these basins were filled with water resulting from climate amelioration. This study indicates that the hydrology of the Pampean Region is highly sensitive to changes in precipitation and wind erosion, and that future scenarios of increased erosion by wind and water can modify the hydrologic connectivity and, therefore, the resilience of the lakes located in this region.
