LAKE Project Reveals Pollution’s Hidden Cost | UK News

Scientists uncover how seasonal nutrient pollution triggers deadly algal blooms in Highfields Lake, depleting oxygen and threatening aquatic life — a two-year study tracking temperature, oxygen, and phosphorus levels. To bring science to the public, they’ve teamed up with Nottingham City Council to launch an outdoor exhibition celebrating the park’s 100th anniversary, featuring six display boards blending cutting-edge research with historical photos, diaries, and archives. A new digital weather station now monitors extreme heat — including a record 35.06°C — to better understand the lake’s response. Funded by the University of Nottingham, the LAKE project aims to unite researchers, city officials, and the public, culminating in a free public lecture at Lakeside Arts on September 23.
