Hi, this is a reminder about the subject session at IAGLR99 in
Cleveland
on May 25-29 at Case Western Reserve University. We hope you
will consider
contributing a paper. Here is the information:
> Title:
>
> Great Lakes Modeling Summit: Focus on Lake Erie
>
>
Description:
>
> In its effort to educate the Great Lakes community
on the value of
> models, identify the state of
> Great Lakes models
and gaps in our understanding of their application,
> and make
>
recommendations for closing those gaps, the IJC Council of Great Lakes
>
Research Managers is
> planning to hold one of its series of Great Lakes
Modeling Summits at
> IAGLR '99. Because of
> the location of
the conference and the great complexities involved in
> understanding
and
> managing the Lake Erie ecosystem, we plan to focus this session
on
> reviewing the state of Lake
> Erie models and their application
in addressing the full range of
> management issues in the lake.
>
We, therefore, invite abstract submissions that cover the development,
>
application, and/or state-
> of-the-science of whole system or component
models for any aspect of
> the Lake Erie ecosystem.
> Modeling
papers focusing on topics in any of the following areas are
> welcome:
hydrodynamics
> and physical transport, sediment transport, nutrient
cycling and
> trophic transfer, exotic species
> ecological
interactions, toxic substance mass balance and
> bioaccumulation,
multi-media and
> multi-stressor ecosystem response models, and modeling
theory. Time
> will be available at the
> end of this session
for a plenary discussion to assess the state of
> modeling in Lake Erie
and to
> make recommendations for future research to advance Lake Erie
modeling
> capabilities.
