Don't miss out on all the fantastic research featured in the first 2026 issue of the Journal of Great Lakes Research, with studies on microplastic hotspots, invasive impacts, walleye behavior, and more. JGLR, vol. 52, issue 1: https://bit.ly/4twtGH1 #JGLR #GreatLakesSci
This week started with a conversation about the National Water Security Strategy in Canada with elected officials.
Thank you to my colleagues at @aquaaction.bsky.social , @experimentallakes.bsky.social, @cangeo.bsky.social for a great meeting !
Happy World Water Day to all my colleagues limnologists!
One take home message from this week meetings: the attacks on Canada are not supported by many Great Lakes elected officials- and thank you for making this clear.
I’m excited to take part in an Water Watchers webinar on March 3, where I’ll share insights on the current state of the Great Lakes and why better road salt management is critical for protecting freshwater ecosystems.

Wishing a good St Valentin to all my water friends and colleagues!
All these conversations point to one direction under these challenging times👇🏻
This was another productive week at @iaglr.bsky.social meeting with the ERBFF, @annaleighclark.bsky.social, the @glcommission.bsky.social and @glerl.bsky.social before a full day of Board meeting today!
Today is International Day of Women & Girls in Science!
It is a privilege to work with a small but mighty team at the @iaglr.bsky.social where 86% of our staff and contractors is made up of woman in science.

How healthy are the Great Lakes? It depends where. Results are being shared at the GL Forum this week in Chicago.

Happy #worldwetlandday26 to my colleagues caring about these amazing ecosystems that provided so many services and require much protection.
On this topic, here is an interview in French to @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social this morning:

This winter has been a real one to date for the ice cover of the Great Lakes that has reached about 40% today. The champion is Lake Erie (95%) while Lake Ontario is at about 20%.
Ice plays critical roles (ecology, erosion, weather etc..) for this region.

The proposed changes to the definition of the Waters of the United States are not aligned with the intent of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.

Wishing a Happy Holidays to all my freshwater colleagues before starting a much needed break !!!

With 3 days to go, it is time to submit your abstract to the 2026 @iaglr.bsky.social and @scas-scsa.bsky.social conference !!
👉https://iaglr.org/iaglr-scas26/program/abstracts/
Last Monday, @iaglr.bsky.social joined 15 other Great Lakes organizations to share with elected officials about science priorities.
The menu may have changed🤓
2002! Just a few years back!
We invite all freshwater scientists to consider submitting an abstract to the upcoming @iaglr.bsky.social and @scas-scsa.bsky.social joint conference and hosted by @experimentallakes.bsky.social - Call is open until December 19, with over 75 sessions to choose from ! iaglr.org/iaglr-scas26...
The @iaglr.bsky.social contributed to a recent publication from @scibri.com in @universityaffairs.bsky.social this month to report on the state of chaos in the US and implications on Canadian research: universityaffairs.ca/features/fea...
Thank you @ljevanso.bsky.social o.bsky.soci for including @iaglr.bsky.social binational perspectives in the last issue of @nature.com : www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Et il y aussi les recherches en cours sur des sites qui ne sont pas officiellement des écoles residentielles (comme par ex des hopitaux et universités) pathstoreconciliation.canadiangeographic.ca/unmarked-gra...
Once a year, I offer a secchi blessing to all working in Great Lakes region. Plus a special one tonight for the @bluejaysbot.bsky.social ! 🎃
BIG NEWS! IAGLR has received a 3-year grant from the Fred & Barbara Erb Family Foundation. This support will expand our science communication, strengthen inclusive research, and mentor the next generation of Great Lakes scientists. https://bit.ly/3IDeWUi
