at a low water level there are three independent but equivalent lakes. When the water level increases the three lakes join to form a large ocean. he topology has changed altogethervarlet concludes.
In other words this is how a doughnut is transformed into an apple. Until now scientists have lacked the right material to be able to demonstrate a Lifshitz transition in an experiment.

The largest single piece weighing about 650 kilograms was recovered from the bed of Lake Chebarkul in October by a team from Ural Federal University led by Professor Viktor Grokhovsky.
Melodia tested the system recently in Lake erie a few miles south of downtown Buffalo. Hovannes Kulhandjian and Zahed Hossain both doctoral candidates in his lab dropped two 40-pound sensors into the water.

Water therefore would have flowed most likely into a lake enclosed by such a boundary and so did not provide evidence for an ocean.
#World s first surfing lake slated to open in 2015 Wavegarden is bringing the power of the ocean to the mountains of North Wales.
They have been given the go-ahead to build the UK first inland surf lake. The giant wave lagoon, three times the size of a football pitch, will be the first of its kind in the world.

#'Crazy Craters'Found in Swiss Lake Four giant craters were found by accident in the muddy floor of one of Switzerland largest lakes, a new study reports.
Researchers surveying Lake Neuchâtel for evidence of past earthquakes spotted the craters near the lake northwestern shore near the Jura Mountains.
The pits are among the largest and deepest pockmarks ever found in Earth lakes, the researchers said.
-and landslide-triggered tsunamis in Alpine lakes. In the past decade researchers have discovered that tsunamis wiped out villages along the shores of both Lake Geneva and Lake Lucerne in the past 1, 500 years.
But instead of ancient quake or tsunami deposits, Reusch and her colleagues stumbled upon an enormous feature they dubbed Chez-le-Bart crater (razy crater. never expected anything like this,
The same limestone underlies the lake, and the scientists think that groundwater is bubbling up into the craters through cracks in the limestone rock.

-and-a-half football fields (about 905 feet or 375 meters) to achieve the world record title before landing gently in the sparkling water of Quebec's Lake Ouareau.

#Buried'Lake superior'seen on Saturn's moon Enceladus Saturn's icy moon Enceladus already known for spitting plumes of water into space just got even more interesting.
New gravity readings suggest it hosts a subsurface sea the size of Lake superior at its south pole
It would contain about as much water as Lake superior in North america. Hosting an ocean in contact with rocks boosts the chances that Enceladus hosts life
I have an image now of possibly a freshwater lake on a Mars with a thicker atmosphere maybe a snowcapped Mount Sharp said NASA science administrator John Grunsfeld.
"Although young Mars was inundated by rivers, lakes and maybe even an ocean a few billion years ago,
#Ancient Mars had long-lasting lakes, rivers: Nasa Mars harboured long-lasting lakes and water streams about 3. 8 to 3. 3 billion years ago,
boosting the odds that life may have existed once on the Red planet, scientists, including one of Indian-origin,
and lakes existed at some point between about 3. 8 to 3. 3 billion years ago,
The findings build upon previous work that suggested there were ancient lakes on Mars, and add to the unfolding story of a wet Mars, both past and present.
Others focused on the possibility that sediment layers were deposited in ancient lakes. The latest results indicate that these wetter scenarios were correct for the lower portions of Mount Sharp.
Based on the new analysis, the filling of at least the bottom layers of the mountain occurred mostly by ancient rivers and lakes over a period of less than 500 million years."
we're seeing finely laminated mudstones in abundance that look like lake deposits, "he said. The mudstone indicates the presence of bodies of standing water in the form of lakes that remained for long periods of time,
possibly repeatedly expanding and contracting during hundreds to millions of years. These lakes deposited the sediment that eventually formed the lower portion of the mountain.
The research was published in the journal Science e

The report concluded the construction of the mine's tailings dam foundation on a sloping glacial lake deposit amounted to loading a gun and pulling the trigger.

Contributing to the devastation was the fact that Kathmandu lies in a basin filled with about 2000 feet of sediments from a former lake.

Dating ash deposits from windward volcanoes The new finding is based on measurements of the magnetic field alignment in layers of ancient lake sediments now exposed in the Sulmona basin of the Apennine Mountains east of Rome Italy.
The lake sediments are interbedded with ash layers erupted from the Roman volcanic province a large area of volcanoes upwind of the former lake that includes periodically erupting volcanoes near Sabatini Vesuvius and the Alban Hills.
and Volcanology measured the magnetic field directions frozen into the sediments as they accumulated at the bottom of the ancient lake.
Because the lake sediments were deposited at a high and steady rate over a 10000-year period the team was able to interpolate the date of the layer showing the magnetic reversal called the Matuyama-Brunhes transition at approximately 786000 years ago.
Renne is continuing his collaboration with the Italian-French team to correlate the lake record with past climate change.

Tiny Eurasian exotic is upending watery ecosystems across the northern Great lakes The zooplankton never saw it coming.
which is why the spiny water flea aka Bythotrephes (pronounced BITH-oh-TREH-feez) is devouring its way through the Great lakes and into the surrounding inland waters.
The scientists checked out Lakes Michigan Superior and many interior lakes and lingered two years in Voyageurs national park on Minnesota's border with Canada to examine Bythotrephes'long-term effect on the native zooplankton.
Three of the park's lakes--Rainy Kabetogama and Namakan--had significant densities of the spiny water flea.
Compared to nearby lakes with little or no Bythotrephes they had far fewer of the native zooplankton that support a food web topped by pike bass walleye--and of course fishermen.
and Lake michigan said Kerfoot. We expect it will have cascading effects up to the fish but right now we can see a major collapse of the plankton community.
Like many aquatic invasive species it was transplanted by ships loading ballast in one part of the world and dumping it in another in this case the Great lakes.
But it is having a field day in a band of inland lakes stretching from eastern Ontario to northern Minnesota and in the cooler Great lakes.
It is transported to inland lakes by recreational fishing said Kerfoot. The spiny water flea has an enormous spine with barbs that attach to all types of surfaces (fishing lines nets anchor ropes)
and their resting eggs between lakes infecting one after another. Bythotrephes resting eggs are exceptionally hardy.
and used for bait elsewhere can poop viable eggs into the new lake. Spot-tailed shiners are especially good at spreading spiny water flea eggs
Right now there's no way to get Bythotrephes out of infested lakes. But boaters and anglers can stop it from spreading.
Dry everything thoroughly before you put your gear in another lake. This usually takes about five days.
Don't transfer fish directly from one lake or stream to another either whole or cut up for bait.
Or avoid lake spot-tailed shiners and use river emerald shiners which don't eat Bythotrephes or its eggs.
Isle royale national park is one of the few regions in the Upper Midwest where his team found no Bythotrephes in inland lakes.
Unfortunately that doesn't stop the odd Typhoid Mary. In some places along Highway 41 in Upper Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula every lake we tested with a boat ramp had Bythotrephes.
The primary highway for invasive aquatic species the ballast tanks of oceangoing vessels entering the Great lakes is still open.
They can pick up something in the southern Great lakes and pollute Thunder Bay or Duluth said Kerfoot.

which entitle it to keep drawing water even as Lake Mead runs dry and the rest of the Colorado river states suffer through shortages.
Beebe says scaling down the testing environment in the group research is akin to moving from a lake to a bathtub:
