About IAGLR

The International Association for Great Lakes Research brings together scientists and other professionals to advance quality science about the world’s large lake ecosystems. Our flagship event is the annual Conference on Great Lakes Research, held throughout locations in Canada and the United States. We are pleased to host our 2026 event as part of the joint conference with SCAS-SCSA. We also publish the Journal of Great Lakes Research, recognize excellence and promise through our awards and scholarships, and share compelling stories about science in our Lakes Letter magazine. Our members and conference attendees hail from many countries and disciplines. Together they create a vibrant community to learn about the latest discoveries in large lake science.
