No quick fix to hypoxia: A long time-scale exercise

Featuring Alfred WŸest Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology; ƒcole polytechnique fÁdÁrale de Lausanne, Switzerland

More than 30 years ago, the responsible agencies of two local regional governments decided to install bubble-plume devices for oxygenation (summer) and artificial mixing (winter) in three lakes on the Swiss Plateau. The original goals were to (i) extend the breathable “living space” for fish in the oxygen-depleted deep water, (ii) reduce phosphorus release from anoxic sediments by enhancing the oxygen level at the sediment-water interface, and (iii) eventually reduce oxygen consumption via de- creased in-situ organic matter production. Whereas the first goal was well achieved, the second and third goals turned out to be failures. Due to the enormous volume of monitoring data from these lakes and due to more recent measurements of oxygen and reduced substances at the sediment-water interface, we finally have a much clearer picture of oxygen consumption in deep-water layers. In this talk, Wüest will highlight some of the developments that have improved our understanding in this “long time- scale exercise” and discuss implications for other large lakes.

About Alfred is a research scientist and head of the volved in research on lake ecology (e.g., nutrient/ Aquatic Physics Group in the Department Sur- biogeochemical fluxes) and the management and face Waters - Research & Management at the restoration of lakes. His work is interdisciplinary Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and and involves collaborations with aquatic biologist, Technology (EAWAG) and the Margaretha chemists, geologists, and managers responsible for Kamprad Chair of Physics of Aquatic Systems water use in lakes throughout Europe (e.g., vari- Laboratory and Director of the Limnology Center ous Swiss lakes, Lake Constance), Asia (Lake at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne Baikal), Africa (Lake Kivu, Lake Nyos) and (EPFL), Switzerland. While his primary research Antarctica (Lake Vostok). He has authored involves the study of small-scale physical processes 116 peer-reviewed (ISI entry) papers, 22 book in lakes (e.g., stratified turbulence, boundary layer chapters and more than 2,000 pages of expert/ mixing, double-diffusion), he is also actively in- consulting services mainly to water authorities.

How is your ecosystem doing? Developing scientifi- cally based report cards

Featuring William Dennison University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science

A basic question that is asked by scientists, resource managers, policy makers and interested citizens is simply “How is your ecosystem doing?” When I was asked this question regarding an embayment that I had been studying in Australia, I gathered my graduate students and developed a simple qualitative report card (A-F) in the late @BillCDennison 1990s. This garnered considerable attention, so we set about to develop a scientifi- cally rigorous version of the report card. We created an ecosystem health monitoring program and expanded the report card to include the catchments. Years later, relocated on Chesapeake Bay, I set about to develop a report card using an established monitoring program. This resulted in the Chesapeake Bay report card, which was incorporated into governance structures and supported restoration targeting. Several other report cards were undertaken, including Long Island Sound, Willamette River, and the Great Barrier Reef. The largest report card effort was devoted to the extensive Mississippi River basin, and it included various socio-economic indicators as well as ecological indicators. Partnering with WWF, our team is now developing strategies for report card replication and multiplication in a Basin Report Card Initiative. I would like to propose a Great Lakes report card, and will present some preliminary concepts to answer the question “How are the Great Lakes doing?”

www.tandfonline.com WORKSHOPS & DISCUSSIONS

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8 JGLR Publishing Workshop Reviews: How to Give and Take 3:20–4:20 p.m. / Rozanski Hall, Room 106 You may have wondered how reviewers are selected or how you can become a reviewer yourself. Perhaps you’ve been asked to write a review for a paper and just didn’t know where to start. In this workshop, we’ll discuss how reviewers are selected, how to write a helpful and meaningful review, and how you, as an author, should approach the reviews you receive. Please plan to attend the Journal of Great Lakes Research Publishing Workshop, open to all conference participants.

Discussion Should IAGLR co-host a meeting in Europe in 2018? 3:40–4:20 p.m. / Rozanski Hall, Room 103 IAGLR is an international organization that promotes large lakes research, yet it is typically viewed as a binational association focused primarily on the Laurentian Great Lakes. At a European Large Lakes Symposium (ELLS) in 2015, it was suggested that ELLS “join forces” with IAGLR and host a joint, international meeting at Lake Geneva (France / Switzerland) in 2018. Following this year’s special session on “Big Lakes - Small World,” we invite IAGLR participants to join in a discussion about the interest, logistics, and feasibility of holding a joint IAGLR / ELLS meeting in 2018. All options are on the table, ranging from a small, special session to a full-blown, integrated joint meeting that is co-hosted by both organizations. Please come and let your voice be heard on this important topic!

THURSDAY, JUNE 9 Editors’ Reception (Invitation only) 5–6 p.m. / University Club Board Room, University Centre, 5th Floor Each year the Journal of Great Lakes Research is supported by a group of dedicated associate editors and the ongoing efforts of the IAGLR Publications 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 hard-working folks, please join us.

FRIDAY, JUNE 10 Agricultural Research Gaps Workshop 10:20 a.m.–12:20 p.m. / Rozanski 109 This workshop, organized and sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, seeks to create a prioritized list of agricultural research gaps that will be shared with all participants. This workshop will consist of two parts. Part 1 will include a panel discussion of recent agricultural research that has informed Great Lakes decision-making. Part 2 will consist of small group discussions to reveal and prioritize participants’ opinions on where agricultural research gaps exist and how to address them. Please plan on joining us on the last morning of the conference, and help us find Great Lakes solutions for sustainable agriculture and healthy Great Lakes!

60 THINGS TO DO

Downtown Guelph and its surroundings are known for diverse dining options as well as boutique and antique shopping. Activities for all ages include hiking, golfing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and enjoying the area’s rich arts and culture scence.

Nature Experiences The University of Guelph’s own Arboretum contains thematic gardens as well as natural trails that preserve and showcase native Ontario plants. The Arboretum is located just a 5 minute walk from Rozanski Hall. Walkers, joggers, and bikers will delight in Guelph’s extensive system of trails and parks, many with river views. One easy access point to the river-side trails is located near the Boat House Tea Room at the bottom of Gordon Street, just a 15-minute walk from the university. A short drive from Guelph, the Halton Hills Conservation Areas include many prominent local nature hotspots such as The Guelph Arboretum as seen from above, Mountsberg Conservation Area and Crawford Lake.
