Stone Laboratory Announces Guest Lecture Schedule

Stone Laboratory, Ohio State University's island campus on Lake Erie, has
announced its 2010 Guest Lecture Series beginning June 17. Each Thursday
evening lecture will begin at 7:45 p.m., lasting until approximately 9 p.m.
Topics this season have a particular focus on partnered Great Lakes
research, with additional talks about the geological history of Lake Erie,
invasive species, and lake sustainability.

Guests are invited to take a Lake Erie Water Taxi, at their own expense, at
7:15 p.m. from the Boardwalk Restaurant dock to Gibraltar Island, where they
will be given a short tour before the lecture. The lectures will also be
simulcast into 333C Kottman Hall on the Ohio State University main campus,
and podcasts will be available at stonelab.osu.edu/events/guest-lectures.

"The Guest Lectures is a great way to get Great Lakes information out to the

Laboratory. "I encourage the public to come and take advantage of the
opportunity to hear and interact with each of them."
