DESCRIPTION:Dr. Benjamin Kraemer\n16:00 – 17:00 – Dr. Benjamin Kraemer
 \nPostdoctoral Associate\, University of Konstanz\, Germany\n\nLakes in a
  warming world: linking physical changes to ecological consequences\n\nLak
 e responses to climate change are multi-dimensional and widespread. Some o
 f the most pervasive and concerning physical consequences of climate chang
 e in lakes are the loss of ice cover\, changes in water storage\, warmer s
 urface temperatures\, and alterations in mixing. But these changes interac
 t in complex ways\, inhibiting our ability to predict lake ecosystem respo
 nses to climate change. To tackle this complexity\, I specialize in global
  change assessments to understand the outcomes of climate change for lakes
  and the ecosystems and people that they support. I merge disparate data s
 ources and modelling approaches to maximize the spatial and temporal scope
  of my work. Here I will summarize my research documenting the global phys
 ical responses of lakes to climate change and their ecological consequence
 s including changes in habitat\, water quality\, and dissolved oxygen. I w
 ill also describe my future research priorities for improving our understa
 nding of lake responses to climate change including (1) capturing the 3-di
 mensional responses of lakes to climate change with a focus on nearshore a
 nd cyclonic upwelling and (2) integrating the internal physical responses 
 of lakes with other dimensions of environmental change (e.g. landscape cha
 nge\, introduced species). Tackling these priorities will allow for better
  understanding of lake ecosystems and improved capacity to predict the fut
 ure of lakes in a warming world.\n\n\n\nShort bio:\nBenjamin M. Kraemer is
  a global change aquatic scientist focusing on the physical responses of l
 akes to climate change. His predominantly global scale research is grounde
 d by several regional foci including lakes in Central Europe\, Central Nor
 th America\, and East Africa\, where he has years of fieldwork experience.
   In his current position\, he synthesizes knowledge across multiple doma
 ins to project future ecological responses to environmental change in Lake
  Constance for the multi-disciplinary “SeeWandel” project. With a Bach
 elor’s degree from Lawrence University and a PhD from the University of 
 Wisconsin-Madison\, Dr. Kraemer is a recognized leader in global change li
 mnology. He serves on the steering committee of the Global Lake Ecological
  Observatory Network and has contributed to key reports on climate change 
 including the IPCC. With a passion for teaching\, he has taught lab course
 s in Limnology\, Aquatic ecology\, Fish Ecology\, and lead workshops on Sc
 ientific Communication\, and using R for statistical computing. He lives i
 n Berlin with his partner and two children where they enjoy gardening and 
 swimming in nearby lakes.\n\n
