IAGLR 2005
Great Lakes Ecosystem Forecasting: Improving Understanding and Prediction
More than 600 scientists will converge in Ann Arbor in May for the 48th Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research. Sponsored by the International Association for Great Lakes Research (IAGLR), the conference will be held at the University of Michigan, May 23-27, 2005.

This year’s conference will recognize the increasingly important need for ecosystem-based research to address ever more complex resource protection and management issues. Organizers anticipate more than 500 talks and posters, distributed between 40 half-day sessions, and a featured plenary presentation to be given by Steve Chapra.

Hosts for the event include the Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecosystems Research, the University of Michigan, and NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory. The International Association for Great Lakes Research is a scientific organization made up of researchers studying the Laurentian Great Lakes and other large lakes of the world as well as those with an interest in limnology and oceanography.
