Open data platform. Fantastic idea! They include Lake Winnipeg *bats eyes* as one of their freshwater data Hubs.
Data sets look fairly old though, so sharing in hopes BlueSky science peeps can maybe help with more data. #sciencesky #freshwater #datasets

The algae crisis has grown to such a large scale that the blooms can be seen from outer space.
Hey big lakes, got little puddles? Great summer program coming up if you’re local for kids 8-13.

Water is life. 🌊
Lake Winnipeg at Hecla Provincial Park. August 2021.
8,200 years ago, the melting of remaining Hudson Bay ice caused Lake Agassiz to drain nearly completely. What water remained is now Lake Winnipeg, Lake Manitoba, Lake Winnipegosis and Lake of the Woods.
The average depth of Lake Winnipeg is 12.0 m with 13.3 m and 9.7 m in the North and South basins. This freshwater lake lies at an altitude of 218 m. Lake Winnipeg is the largest remnant of the giant prehistoric Lake Agassiz that formed as deglaciation proceeded between 12,000 and 8,000 years ago.
Lake Winnipeg is the 10th largest lake in the world by surface area.
The Global Nature Fund declared Lake Winnipeg as the "threatened lake of the year" in 2013.
In Ojibwe, Lake Winnipeg is known as:
Weenipagamiksaguygun
