Title: Spatial and temporal patterns in water chemistry of two high elevation lakes in southeast Wyoming

Abstract

The Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site (GLEES) was established to examine the effects of atmospheric deposition and climate change on alpine and subalpine ecosystems. This report documents temporal and spatial trends during 1993 in water chemistry in East and West Glacier Lakes. Data are presented on seasonal and lake depth changes in water chemistry of the two lakes. The application of the results to appropriate sampling protocols for two alpine lakes is discussed. Both lakes were sampled during the same day, at midday. Samples were kept cool, returned to the lab the same day, and filtered for analysis. Samples were analyzed for cations and anions, pH, and conductivity at the Rocky Mountain Station Water Chemistry laboratory. Silica and aluminum were also measured for some sample dates.
