When gazing at a peaceful lake, have you ever wondered about its origin? What natural treasures are hidden underwater? How are rocks and life continuously adapting? Well, usually the answers to these questions are far from their characteristic steady landscapes. The answers to these questions lie underwater, usually leaving much to our imagination. Now, with BioBase we are closer than ever in seeing what’s inside these lakes. And, as expected, while solving these questions many others emerged. I will take this opportunity to share a couple of case studies of fascinating lakes in Mexico, and how BioBase has opened new paths towards their understanding.
