Resilience of lake ecosystems
Featuring Steve Carpenter, University of Wisconsin–Madison
Each year the Journal of Great Lakes Research is supported by a group of dedicated associate editors and the ongoing efforts of the IAGLR Publication Committee. We want to take this time to thank you for your efforts and get your feedback on how the journal is doing and what we can do better. If you’re one of these hardworking folks, please join us for the Editors’ Reception.
In "All Too Clear," cutting-edge underwater drones explore how quadrillions of tiny invasive quagga mussels are re-engineering the ecosystem of the Great Lakes at a scale not seen since the glaciers. Part scientific exploration, part natural history adventure – the film shines a spotlight on freshwater wildlife and environments like never before. The 90-minute film will be followed by a panel discussion.
