How would you study a large system of water, like a lake?  From the surface it may appear as though there isn’t much going on.  You may assume that there are fish and plants living below the surface but this simple façade is very misleading.  There is much more to a lake than the fish and the plants, much more than isn’t visible to the average on-looker.  There is an entire field of science, called limnology, dedicated to studying lakes.  At Oneida Lake, scientists are measuring a range of abiotic parameters including: temperature, dissolved oxygen, specific conductivity, turbidity, pH and chlorophyll.
