Abstract
science projects, but also data providers, relatively early on.However, at the core and perhaps the most important factor contributing to the successful continuity of this project, is the dedication and engagement of the CLIC community scientists.We are incredibly fortunate that our community scientists are passionate and supportive of this work.To date, this project has collected over 52,500 lake ice phenology observations for 1008 lakes, and involved 935 monitors over the years (Fig. 3).As we work toward organizing these vast datasets, we look forward to exploring important questions on how climate change is affecting lake ice phenology across small and large lakes in the United States and identifying which lakes are most vulnerable to rapid ice loss.
