Abstract

Large lakes around the world provide many important ecosystem goods and services to society. Despite the significant diversity among the world’s great lakes, these important ecosystems are impacted by many common stressors such as climate change, eutrophication, and invasive species. Motivated by discussions at the 2015 European Large Lakes Symposium (ELLS), as well as IAGLR meetings in 2016 and 2017, we present an overview of the first-ever joint ELLS / IAGLR conference, to be held in Evian-les-Bains, France (Lake Geneva; September 23-28, 2018). The conference will welcome presentations regarding all aspects of global, large-lake limnology, particularly those that highlight the diversity and commonalities among the world’s great lakes.
