flag Scientists reconstructed 120 years of Great Lakes ice cover using historical temperatures, revealing warming trends and shorter frost seasons.

flag Researchers have reconstructed a 120-year record of ice cover on the Great Lakes using historical temperature data from 1897, filling a critical gap in climate records. flag By linking air temperature to ice formation, the dataset enables scientists to study long-term trends in winter ecology, climate change impacts, and safety on ice. flag It reveals a warming trend with shorter frost seasons and more extreme weather, despite year-to-year variability, including recent record lows and unusually high ice coverage. flag The data supports research on species like whitefish and helps communities prepare for future environmental changes in the region.
