UC Davis is using an underwater robot with the hopes of understanding Lake Tahoe’s climate change. Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC) deployed the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) earlier this month. More commonly known as a glider, the autonomous vehicle will coast 150 meters under Lake Tahoe’s surface, going back-and-forth taking measurements.

...results indicate that continued climate changes could pose serious threats to the characteristics of the Lake that are most highly valued. Future water quality planning must take these results into account.
