♦ Tropical Storm Irene hit the East Coast of the U.S. in late August 2011 and greatly affected Lake Sunapee. Please link here to view the Lake Sunapee GLEON buoy data analysis provided by GLEON Steering Committee Co-Chair Kathie Weathers, who is also Research Director for the Lake Sunapee Protective Association (LSPA).

♦ In April 2011, GLEON members and other researchers at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (the Federal University of Minas Gerais, often referred to as UFMG) deployed new high frequency automated sondes on two natural lakes in Southeastern Brazil: lakes Dom Helvécio and Carioca. See here for full story and photos!

♦ Researchers at the Instituto Argentino de Oceanografía (IADO) installed its first GLEON buoy at the Sauce Grande shallow lake in Buenos Aires Province, the first autonomous buoy in the country designed for monitoring lakes. See here for more details on the design team, deployment photos, and the programs that will begin in February 2011.

♦ "Freshwater Advanced Aquatic Sensor Workshop", organized by University of Michigan Biological Station and many GLEON members, concluded a very successful meeting in September, is now featured as meeting highlight in ASLO - Limnological and Oceanography Bulletin Vol.20 (4), December 2011 issue on p.82 .

♦ GLEON's collaborative efforts now in Science magainze, again! Find out more about how the management of nutrient runoff may be a feasible option for controlling cyanobacterial blooms in "Resilence to Blooms" (7 October 2011: Vol.334, pp.46-47), co-authored by GLEON members Justin Brookes and Cayelan Carey.
