The effects of climate change on such lakes could include reduced habitat for coldwater fish species such as lake trout, changes in fish species available as food, and decreased water availability for societal uses such as electricity generation and industrial processing. The video also underscores the value of the data produced by ELA research over the past 44 years and its critical role in developing climate change models.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2014, IISD took over
