Everything about Limnology totally explained
Limnology (from Greek: Λίμνη
limne, "lake"; and λόγος,
logos, "knowledge") is the division of
hydrology that studies inland waters (running and standing waters, both fresh and saline), including their
biological,
physical,
chemical,
geological and
hydrological aspects. This includes the study of (natural and man-made)
lakes and
ponds,
rivers and
streams,
wetlands and
groundwaters.
Traditionally, limnology is closely related to
hydrobiology, which is concerned with the application of
physics,
chemistry,
geology, and
geography to
ecological problems.
History
The term limnology was coined by
François-Alphonse Forel (1841-1912) who established the field with his studies of
Lake Geneva. Interest in the discipline rapidly expanded, and in
1922 August Thienemann (a German zoologist) and
Einar Naumann (a Swedish botanist) co-founded the
International Society of Limnology (SIL, for originally Societas Internationalis Limnologiae). Forel's original definition of limnology, "the
oceanography of lakes", was expanded to encompass the study of all inland waters.
Prominent early American limnologists included
G. Evelyn Hutchinson,
Ed Deevey,
E. A. Birge, and
C. Juday.
