Chancey Juday (May 5, 1871 – March 29, 1944) together with G. Evelyn Hutchinson, and his close collaborator, Edward A. Birge were pioneers of North American limnology.
The two, Juday and Birge, studied dissolved oxygen and temperature, leading future limnologists to a better understanding of stratification.
[3] Juday died on March 29, 1944, but in 1950 shared posthumously the Einar Naumann Medal of the International Association of Limnology with Birge.
[2][4] Dr. Juday published papers on the lakes of Indiana, Colorado, California, Central America, New York and other localities.
Their findings involving dissolved oxygen and temperature lead future limnologists to important information regarding stratification in lakes.
