Seasonality dominates changes in lake-surface extent and aligns with human residence

  • RESEARCH BRIEFINGS
  • 11 June 2025

The mapping of lake surfaces globally has been constrained by the limitations of single-source satellite data. A spatio-temporal fusion approach now enables high-resolution mapping of more than 1.4 million lakes, revealing seasonality as the main factor driving changes in the spread of lake surfaces, with links between seasonality and human residence.
