Abstract
Big Soda Lake has shifted from a partially closed to an open meromictic system, probably due to a progressive depression of the chemocline to a level below that of subsurface inflow. The stability increase initially accompanying that shift has been followed by a gradual decrease in stability. The observed mean annual work done and chemocline descent rate indicate that meromixis in Big Soda Lake is unlikely to persist for longer than another few decades.
