LéXPLORE a floating laboratory for the study of Lake Geneva

LéXPLORE is a project from UNIGE, UNIL, EPFL, EAWAG and INRA-CARTELL. We have jointly constructed a unique floating platform for the study of Lake Geneva, using a range of automated sensors and instruments. Lake Geneva physics, biogeochemistry and (plankton) ecology will be studied at a level of detail that hitherto has been not been tried, anywhere. This will allow us to better understand the impact of climate change on the functioning and servces of the lake. LéXPLORE is anchored offshore from Pully since 19 February 2019.
