Abstract

The International Joint Commission’s Great Lakes Science Advisory Board (SAB) has been providing advice on research and scientific matters to the Commission and the Great Lakes Water Quality Board since 1978.  The rejuvenation of the Board following the 2013 Protocol to the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement has resulted in a substantial and diverse suite of recent and ongoing projects.  Building off of the project overviews provided earlier in the session, this facilitated discussion is intended to identify future science topics for SAB focus, and additional opportunities for SAB collaboration. It is our hope this discussion will generate a list of priority topics and opportunities for the SAB to increase the relevance of its science advice to governments.
