State of Lake Erie 2022
The State of Lake Erie Conference will be held March 16-17, 2022, in Cleveland, Ohio, at the Hilton Cleveland Downtown. We are also planning a virtual experience for those unable to travel to Cleveland. Hosted by the International Association for Great Lakes Research, the conference will feature concurrent sessions, plenaries, discussions, and a virtual field trip.
