 on Earth’s surface and are essential components of biogeochemical\, hydrolo
 gical\, and ecological processes. They function as regulators of climate ch
 ange through the cycling of carbon and provide indispensable water supply\,
  hydropower generation\, and aquatic ecosystems for meeting natural and hum
 an needs. The potential goods and services from lakes are largely modulated
  by lake water storage. Human activities and a changing climate increasingl
 y threaten lake water storage\, as evidenced by record-low water levels in 
 some of the world’s largest lakes\, such as Aral Sea in Central Asia and La
 kes Mead and Michigan-Huron in North America. Yet\, trends and drivers of l
 ake water storage over decadal scales remain poorly constrained at large ge
 ographical scales\, which impedes sustainable management of surface water r
 esources\, both now and into the future. Here\, I will present my recent wo
 rk on quantifying and attributing decadal variability of lake water storage
  at regional and global scales using satellite observations\, hydrological 
 models\, and statistical-learning techniques. I will also discuss the impac
 ts and implications of changing lake water storage\, as well as future rese
 arch opportunities.\n\nMore info >>
