Floating Mesocosms and Alpine Lake (OLA)
Introduction
The Alpine Lakes Observatory OLA provides scientists with tools and means (boats, probes, basins/mesocosms, laboratories, drone, …) allowing them to explore lake environments and to obtain quality scientific data with the aim of understanding and modelling the evolution and ecological functions of these systems, which are simultaneously subject to a change in local anthropic and climatic pressures.
The "Observation" part, which has been operational for many years, already has a 30 to 60 year history of data (on the large peri-alpine lakes) for many biological and physicochemical parameters. The close interweaving of these in situ data collection and experimental activities enables a better characterisation of the mechanisms of biodiversity response to pressures.
