IAGLR 2025 Annual Report released

May 15, 2026

We are pleased to share our 2025 Annual Report, titled “Steadfast Science in Changing Times.” The year was defined by our collective response to unprecedented headwinds, proving that IAGLR is more than a professional society, it is a steadfast voice for large lake science. Highlights from the year include our 68th Annual Conference in Milwaukee, which brought together 600 scientists despite travel and funding barriers; the launch of the Student and Early Career Committee to support the next generation; and the receipt of a landmark $665,000 grant from the Fred and Barbara Erb Family Foundation. We also issued formal statements, commentary, and joint letters to protect the future of science, and deepened our commitment to inclusion by securing new funding to support Indigenous and Black scholars. We invite you to read how our community stood firm in the face of policy shifts and funding uncertainties to ensure the flow of knowledge remained uninterrupted.
