Global changes (e.g., warming and population growth) affect nutrient loadings and temperatures, but global warming also results in more frequent extreme events, such as heat waves. Using data from the world's longest-running shallow lake experimental mesocosm facility, we studied the effects of different levels of nutrient loadings combined with varying temperatures, which also included a simulated 1-month summer heat wave (HW), on nutrient and oxygen concentrations, gross ecosystem primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (ER), net ecosystem production (NEP) and bacterioplankton production (BACPR). The mesocosms had two nutrient levels (high (HN) and low (LN)) combined with three different temperatures according to the IPCC 2007 warming scenarios (unheated, A2 and A2 + 50%) that were applied for 11 years prior to the present experiment. The simulated HW consisted of 5 degrees C extra temperature increases only in the A2 and A2 + 50% treatments applied from 1 July to 1 August 2014. Linear mixed effect modeling revealed a strong effect of nutrient treatment on the concentration of chlorophyll a (Chl-a), on various forms of phosphorus and nitrogen as well as on oxygen concentration and oxygen percentage (24 h means). Applying the full dataset, we also found a significant positive effect of nutrient loading on GPP, ER, NEP and BACPR, and of temperature on ER and BACPR. The HW had a significant positive effect on GPP and ER. When dividing the data into LN and HN, temperature also had a significant positive effect on Chl-a in LN and on orthophosphate in HN. Linear mixed models revealed differential effects of nutrients, Chl-a and macrophyte abundance (PVI) on the metabolism variables, with PVI being particularly important in the LN mesocosms. All metabolism variables also responded strongly to a cooling-low irradiance event in the middle of the HW, resulting in a severe drop in oxygen concentrations, not least in the HN heated mesocosms. Our results demonstrate strong effects of nutrients as well as an overall rapid response in oxygen metabolism and BACPR to changes in temperature, including HWs, making them sensitive ecosystem indicators of climate warming.

Geochemical modeling of CO2-water-rock interaction in indonesian geothermal fields for a possible future carbon capture and storage project Utomo, Gagas Pambudi; Yılmaz, Koray K.; Department of Geological Engineering (2019) The rise of CO2 concentration in Earth’s atmosphere from anthropogenic emissions is the main cause of global warming and climate change. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is considered as an effective method to reduce such emission. CCS can be performed in various sites including geothermal reservoirs. This study is concerned with geochemical modeling of CO2-water-rock interaction for a possible future CCS project in Indonesian geothermal fields, namely Ungaran, Baturaden, Dieng and Awibengkok. The modeling ...
Carbon dioxide sequestration and enhanced oil recovery co-optimization Akhundov, Nuri; Sınayuç, Çağlar; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2021-9) The worldwide growth of industry leads to continuous rise of anthropogenic emission amount into the atmosphere, which causes greenhouse effect all over the world, that is heating up the atmosphere and changing the global climate. On the other hand, carbon dioxide injection into oil reservoirs for the purpose of enhancement of oil recovery (CO2-EOR) has been commercially used for nearly 50 years. The operations in petroleum sector are being carried out in a way to maximize the recovered oil while keeping the...
Ecological impacts of global warming and water abstraction on lakes and reservoirs due to changes in water level and related changes in salinity Jeppesen, Erik; Brucet, Sandra; Naselli-Flores, Luigi; Papastergiadou, Eva; Stefanidis, Kostas; Noges, Tiina; Noges, Peeter; Attayde, Jose Luiz; Zohary, Tamar; Coppens, Jan; Bucak, Tuba; Menezes, Rosemberg Fernandes; Sousa Freitas, Francisco Rafael; Kernan, Martin; Sondergaard, Martin; Beklioğlu, Meryem (2015-05-01) According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report released in September 2014, unprecedented changes in temperature and precipitation patterns have been recorded globally in recent decades and further change is predicted to occur in the near future, mainly as the result of human activity. In particular, projections show that the Mediterranean climate zone will be markedly affected with significant implications for lake water levels and salinity. This may be exacerbated by increased demands fo...
Environmental variability in aquatic ecosystems: Avenues for future multifactorial experiments Gerhard, Miriam; Koussoroplis, Apostolos-Manuel; Raatz, Michael; Pansch, Christian; Fey, Samuel B.; Vajedsamiei, Jahangir; Caldero-Pascual, Maria; Cunillera-Montcusi, David; Juvigny-Khenafou, Noel P. D.; Polazzo, Francesco; Thomas, Patrick K.; Symons, Celia C.; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Berger, Stella A.; Chefaoui, Rosa M.; Ger, Kemal Ali; Langenheder, Silke; Nejstgaard, Jens C.; Ptacnik, Robert; Striebel, Maren (2022-10-01) The relevance of considering environmental variability for understanding and predicting biological responses to environmental changes has resulted in a recent surge in variability-focused ecological research. However, integration of findings that emerge across studies and identification of remaining knowledge gaps in aquatic ecosystems remain critical. Here, we address these aspects by: (1) summarizing relevant terms of variability research including the components (characteristics) of variability and key i...
Uncertainty assessment in projection of the extreme river flows, the case of Ömerli catchment, İstanbul Engin, Batuhan Eren; Yücel, İsmail; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Department of Earth System Science (2015) The average temperature at the surface of the Earth has been increasing over the past century due to the increased greenhouse gases concentrations in atmosphere through anthropogenic activities. Rising temperature leads to an increase in evaporation and thus intensifies the components of water cycle which results in extreme flows in different parts of the world through changes in globally averaged precipitation. Projection of extreme flows is very important in this aspect, yet obscurity about many factors t...
