Call for Papers
Abstract submission is closed. Thanks to all!
The International Association for Great Lakes Research invites you to participate in the 53rd Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research, to be held May 17-21, 2010, at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario. We welcome abstract submissions for both oral and poster presentations.
Lessons from the Past, Solutions for the Future is the theme for this year's conference. More than 50 sessions have been proposed, touching on virtually every aspect of Great Lakes research and management. Topics include physical processes, biological structure and function, contaminants, ecosystem dynamics, catchment and coastal processes, science-policy linkages, outreach initiatives and progress in Great Lakes Areas of Concern. There is also a general contributions session for papers not fitting clearly within the 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. Posters will be given a high profile through daily displays and capsule summaries in the oral sessions to which they relate. 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.
