# Scientists are studying Cape Town lakes Princessvlei and Eilandvlei to understand climate change tipping points. Led by palaeo-ecologist Jemma Finch, the research explores the lakes’ ecological history, using micro-algae and environmental DNA to track changes. Princessvlei faces drying and pollution, while Eilandvlei is at risk of rising sea levels. The findings will help conservation efforts adapt restoration strategies. Finch and other experts will discuss their research in the Let’s Get Sedimental webinar hosted by Oppenheimer Generations Research and Conservation today.
