This project relates the effects of physical disturbances and water column stability on plankton communities and has resulted in papers on effects of storms in Global Change Biology (in 2020 and 2021) and in Limnology and Oceanography (2021).  Oneida Lake is one of 8 lakes worldwide that allowed detailed analysis of storm effects. Another paper using these data to develop a boosted regression tree models to study storm effects on data collected at a lower frequency was submitted in 2022 to Limnology and Oceanography (Tran-Khac et al.)
