Big Lakes - Small World

The meeting will provide an opportunity to explore and discuss issues and challenges related to the functioning of large lake ecosystems as well as ecosystems services, lake management, global stressors and lake data acquisition. These topics will be discussed from a variety of perspectives, including physical processes, chemical dynamics, and biological interactions across any trophic levels. Presentations will include both conceptual and empirically based talks on individual large-lake systems and comparisons across systems.
