Extreme climate pushed thousands of lakes in West Greenland ' across a tipping point,' study finds.

After two months of record heat and precipitation in fall 2022 , an estimated 7,500 lakes turned brown, began emitting carbon and decreased in water quality in less than a year .

Instead of sequestering carbon dioxide in the summer , the lakes have become a source of it, with a 350% increase in the flux of this greenhouse gas from them.

The study was made possible through extensive data collection obtained through annual water sampling and remote sensors in the lakes that operate year-round.

"Our study demonstrates the power of long-term observation," Jasmine Saros says.

"When it comes to recovery, will it be the same across lakes or different?".
