State of Lake Conferences

The State of Lake (SOL) conferences facilitate interactions between researchers and managers on diverse topics related to issues relevant for a specific lake. IAGLR began hosting the series in 2017 with the Lake Michigan conference. These events do not replace IAGLR’s annual Conference on Great Lakes Research, but rather blend elements from both conferences' traditions, bringing together lake-specific research, policy development, management, education, and nonprofit organizations to broaden the discussion and provide diverse interaction among stakeholders. Associated workshops and field trips are also held.
