Call for Papers

Abstract submission is closed. Thanks to all!

The International Association for Great Lakes Research invites you to participate in the 52nd Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research, to be held May 18-22, 2009, at University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. We welcome abstract submissions for both oral and poster presentations.

Bridging Ecosystems and Environmental Health across our Great Lakes is the theme for this year's conference, with six sessions devoted specifically to that theme. In addition, a significant number of sessions explore aspects of Biological Communities; Planning, Restoration, and Management; Physical Processes and Climate Change; Fish and Fisheries; and Broader Impacts of Great Lakes Sciences. In all, 42 sessions have been proposed, including a general contribution session should a paper not fit clearly within these designated sessions.

All interested persons are invited to submit abstracts for consideration. Oral presentations will be scheduled for Tuesday, May 19 through Friday, May 22; the poster session will be on Tuesday evening. Both oral and poster presentations will require an abstract. Oral presentations will be limited to 15 minutes, followed by a 5-minute question/discussion period. Depending on the number of abstracts received, we may request that some abstracts submitted as oral presentations be moved to the poster session.
