The International Association for Great Lakes Research invites you to participate in the 48th Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research, to be held May 23-27, 2005, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We welcome abstract submissions for both oral and poster presentations.

Great Lakes Ecosystem Forecasting: Improving Understanding and Prediction is the theme for this year's conference, with five sessions devoted specifically to that theme. In addition, a significant number of sessions explore aspects of Human and Ecosystem Health as well as Management and Assessment. In all, 46 separate sessions have been proposed, including a general contribution session should a paper not fit clearly within these designated sessions.

This is the first call for papers. All interested persons are invited to submit abstracts for consideration. All oral presentations will be scheduled for Tuesday, May 24, through Friday, May 27, and poster sessions will begin Tuesday. Both oral and poster presentations will require an abstract. Please note that oral presentations will be limited to 15 minutes, followed by a 5-minute question/discussion period. Depending on the number of abstracts received and the time available, we may request that some papers submitted as oral presentations be moved to a poster session.

Proposed Session Topics & Chairs
We encourage authors to submit abstracts for specific session topics but also will consider general contributions. If you are uncertain about the most suitable placement for your paper, please contact the special session chairs. Contact information for session chairs and descriptions of the proposed sessions are available online. Proposed sessions may be combined and additional sessions arranged, but this will depend on the number of abstracts received and on the time and space available.

Abstract Submission
Please limit your abstract title to no more than 250 characters, and the body of your abstract to no more than 1,350 characters (approximately 200 words). These limits are reinforced by the script online. (See the sample abstract for an idea of length.) If pasting in the text, it may be helpful to check the length in your word processor before doing so. Please note that the code for special characters (e.g., to add italics) counts toward length. Also note that spaces count toward length. Your word processor might not count these, so allow yourself some extra room. If you're running close to the limit, one easy way to gain characters is to use just one space after each period, rather than the two frequently used.

To be most useful for the conference delegates, abstracts should describe results and the relevance of the work or research being done as well as the implications of the work for advancing our knowledge or the effectiveness of policy. PLEASE WRITE YOUR ABSTRACT FOR A GENERAL AUDIENCE. (i.e., As much as possible, try to make your abstract readable for people outside your field.) YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL GRAMMATICAL ERRORS. All abstracts must be submitted via the IAGLR web site (see Abstract Submission Center). Abstracts are due by December 17, 2004.
