| Summary | The NWT is characterized by a vast number of lakes covering a significant portion of its spatial extent. However, there is limited knowledge of how LST responds to climate warming in this region. To address this, LST was analyzed in four distinct periods: open water season (OW), ice cover season (IC), and the transitional months of May (T M ) and October (T O ). LSTs from 1984 to 2021 were retrieved from a lake-specific satellite-derived LST dataset (North Slave LST). LST trend distribution and relationships were analyzed using the Mann-Kendall test and a multilinear regression model. |
| Local Relevance | This study analyzed lake surface temperature trends and spatial distribution across 535 predominantly small to medium lakes across the North Slave Region of the Northwest Territories. |
