Call for Papers
The International Association for Great Lakes Research, in partnership with the St. Lawrence River Institute of Environmental Sciences, Queen's University and our aboriginal hosts, the Mohawks of Akwesasne, invites you to participate in a joint conference on Great Lakes Research and the St. Lawrence River Ecosystem, May 13-17, 2012, at the Nav Centre in Cornwall, Ontario. We welcome abstract submissions for both oral and poster presentations.
Abstract submission is closed. Thanks to all!
More than 50 proposed sessions explore the conference theme From Great Lakes Flow Mighty Rivers. These sessions span broad aspects of Great Lakes-St Lawrence River science, governance and policy, and, in particular, highlight the connectedness of the ecosystem. The sessions have been grouped into major themes that include physical processes and coupled biology; water quality; contaminants; advancements in methods, tools, and technologies; invasive species; biological assessment and ecosystem studies; climate change and extreme events; and governance, management, policy and outreach. A general session is available for papers not fitting clearly within these designated sessions.
All oral presentations will be scheduled for Monday, May 14 through Thursday, May 17. Posters will be given a high profile on Monday evening. Both oral and poster presentations will require an abstract. Oral presentations will be limited to 15 minutes, followed by a 5-minute question/discussion period. Depending on the number of abstracts received, proposed sessions may be combined or additional sessions arranged, and some authors may be asked to present their talks as posters.
