New tools for studying Great Lakes food webs: have they led to new views?

Featuring Jake Vander Zanden Professor, Center for Limnology, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Over the last few decades, many of the new insights into how lakes work derive from new ecological tools that draw from biogeochemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology. What new insights into the Great Lakes have come from application of these new @JakeDeLake tools? Perhaps more importantly, how have these insights contributed to ecosystem management and the ability to solve environmental problems? Stable isotope analysis has allowed researchers to trace energy flow through lake food webs, leading to new insights. More recently, compound-specific stable isotope analysis and other food web biomarkers are providing much deeper insights into food webs. Elemental mass balance models have been used as a bioenergetics tracer, an approach that is complementary to the use of food web tracers. Measurement of environmental DNA has emerged as a tool for the early detection of invasive species, and has tremendous promise for monitoring Great Lakes biological communities more generally. The emergence of new tools has allowed exciting new insights into Great Lakes ecosystems. As the emergence of new insights accelerates, so does the need for translational science that is capable of ushering new insights into improved management.

About Jake is a professor at the Center for Limnology, habitats and ecosystems. On the applied side, his University of Wisconsin – Madison. He has work includes efforts to understand and predict conducted research on topics ranging from the gi- the spread and impact of aquatic invasive species ant trout of Mongolia, to giant insect emergences in inland waters. Along with numerous national in Iceland. In the process he has trained over 30 and international awards and plenary talks, Jake postdocs and graduate students at UW-Madison. is author of over 100 peer review publications. His basic research has focused on developing a In addition to communicating with public audi- more holistic understanding of lake food webs that ences, he teaches several courses at UW-Madison, includes benthic pathways and linkages among including the world’s largest limnology course.

Blue Future: Protecting Water for People and the Planet Forever

Featuring Maude Barlow National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians

The world is running out of freshwater. This is the greatest threat to the future of people and the planet. Large lake systems are not immune. The Aral Sea and Lake Chad — once the 4th and 6th largest freshwater lakes in the world respectively — are close to destroyed from over-extraction for food production. Half the rivers in China @MaudeBarlow have disappeared. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the Ogallala Aquifer will be gone in our lifetime. The Great Lakes are in trouble from pollution, invasive species, eutrophication, extraction and more recently, because they are being used as a carbon corridor for the most dangerous energy sources in the world. Maude Barlow will share her research and campaign to ban the shipping of extreme energy on the Great Lakes and to keep fracked wastewater off shipping lanes as well. Barlow will argue that globalization, the dominant economic model for most of the world, promotes unlimited growth, gives large corporations greater power than nation states to set economic and trade policy and dramatically limits the ability of nation-state governments to protect their water heritage and set rules to protect watersheds. She will also share the incred- ible story of her successful campaign to have the United Nations recognize the human right to water and sanitation and challenge us to develop and support a “Marshall Plan for Water” with its own UN convention and process.

Maude is the National Chairperson of the Coun- Canada Outstanding Environmental Achieve- About cil of Canadians and chairs the board of Food and ment Award, the 2009 Planet in Focus Eco Hero Water Watch. She is a board member of the Inter- Award, and the 2011 EarthCare Award, the national Forum on Globalization and a Councillor highest international honour of the Sierra Club with the Hamburg-based World Future Council. (US). In 2008/2009, she served as Senior Advi- Maude is the recipient of 12 honorary doctor- sor on Water to the 63rd President of the United ates as well as many awards, including the 2005 Nations General Assembly and was a leader in Right Livelihood Award (known as the “Alter- the campaign to have water recognized as a hu- native Nobel”), the 2005 Lannan Foundation man right by the UN. She is also the author of Cultural Freedom Fellowship Award, the Cita- dozens of reports, as well as 17 books, includ- tion of Lifetime Achievement at the 2008 Cana- ing her latest, Blue Future: Protecting Wa- dian Environment Awards, the 2009 Earth Day ter For People And The Planet Forever.

9 WORKSHOPS & DISCUSSIONS

All events are in the Davis Center unless otherwise noted.

MONDAY, MAY 25 Introduction to R Workshop 9 - 5 / Chittenden Room This workshop will introduce beginners to the R statistical analysis software. It will cover the R environment, im- porting/exporting and organizing data, using and creating functions, graphing, and basic statistical analyses such as regression (linear and nonlinear) and ANOVA. The course is offered by the Quantitative Fisheries Center of Michi- gan State University’s Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. You must register separately for the workshop.

TUESDAY, MAY 26 Publishing Workshop 4:40 - 6 / Williams Room Have you ever wondered what steps are needed to get your paper published or how to shorten the time to publication? Maybe you want to learn how being a reviewer provides insights into what makes a good paper, or how to avoid the most common mistakes made when submitting a paper. If getting published is important to you, please plan to attend the Journal of Great Lakes Research Publishing Workshop, open to all conference participants.

Lake Ontario Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative 7 – 8 / Boulder Room This informal meeting will bring together researchers who actively participated in the 2013 field season on various aspects of Lake Ontario ecology. Since most of the Lake Ontario researchers will be attending IAGLR, it provides an excellent opportunity for colleagues from Canada and the U.S. to assess progress of 2013 projects as well as make future plans. Interested persons not part of the regular CSMI group may contact Mohi Munawar ([email protected]) if they wish to attend due to shortage of space.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 27 IJC Workshop 3:40 - 5:40 / Mildred Livak Room In the Fall of 2014, the International Joint Commission mandated the Lake Champlain and Richelieu River Techni- cal Working Group to 1) Address and close data gaps that are necessary as a basis for the earliest possible initiation of a real-time flood forecasting and inundation mapping system for Lake Champlain and the Richelieu River and, 2) Create static flood inundation maps using a combination of existing and new data and modeling showing affected areas if Lake Champlain and Richelieu River water levels hit different heights. The work is focused on components that can be delivered within a year. You’re invited to review the group’s work and provide guidance for the project based on your experience and knowledge of successful techniques and approaches for such a task. Of particular interest are existing hydrologic and hydraulic forecasting systems for large watersheds and large lakes that cross international boundaries. Topics to be discussed include data needs and sharing, modeling approaches, methods to provide forecasting results to stakeholders, governance and funding structures, and political impediments.

10 WORKSHOPS & DISCUSSIONS

THURSDAY, MAY 28 Microplastics Discussion 1:30 - 4 / Aiken Center, Room 202 This interactive breakout session follows the session Plastic Pollution in the Great Lakes and offers a forum for members of Great Lakes microplastics research community to convene, work on and discuss the development of NOAA Marine Debris Program’s Action Plan for the Great Lakes region. The discussions will be focused on cur- rently identified actions already underway. This open forum is intended to provide exposure of the community plan and new participants are encouraged to partake. Presentations from 8-10:40 in the Davis Center, Jost Room, with open discussion in the Aiken Center, Room 202 after lunch.

Citizen Science Discussion 4:40 - 6 / Aiken Center, Room 112 Join in on the conversation following the session Citizen Science: New Perspectives and Applications to share ideas on the challenges and opportunities for citizen science activities to reach their full potential in research, decision making, and policy. Whether from a natural science, social science, technology, or communications and outreach back- ground, all perspectives are welcome. Presentations from 1:40-4:40 in the Davis Center, Frank Livak Room, with open discussion following in the Aiken Center, Room 112.

Editors’ Reception (Invitation only) 4:40 - 6 / Aiken Center Solarium Each year the Journal of Great Lakes Research is supported by a group of dedicated associate editors and the ongoing efforts of the IAGLR Publication 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 for the Editors’ Reception.

VEMCO Chat Session 4:40 - 6:10 / Boulder Room VEMCO, makers of acoustic telemetry equipment used throughout the Great Lakes, will host a discussion to talk with users about their ideas for new advances in the technology, and to inform users of what’s coming up for new technology.

Social Science Discussion 5 - 6 / Aiken Center, Room 103 This year at IAGLR several sessions present research from social science research frameworks, including the management aspects of restoration. For anyone researching from the social sciences, or anyone interested in the exciting research about complex social ecological systems, please join us for a networking session. We plan a round of introductions, and hope to identify some shared research interests that might lead to new opportunities for collaboration. Please join us!
