GLIN==> Great Lakes session at Geological Society of America mtg in Minneapolis, 9-12 Oct.

*Theme session: Geological and Biological History and Future of the 
Great Lakes*

Sponsored by: GSA Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology Division; GSA 
Geology and Society Division; GSA Structural Geology and Tectonics 
Division; GSA Limnogeology Division

Organizers: John Bratton, NOAA-Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab; 
and Steven Colman, Univ. of Minn.-Duluth, Large Lakes Observatory

This theme session will highlight new data and models of how the Great 
Lakes and their basin have changed over time due to tectonic, glacial, 
limnological, ecological, climatic, and anthropogenic 
influences.Presentations will also consider the future of the Great 
Lakes in light of stressors such as climate change, invasive species 
introductions, or eutrophication, as well as promising new efforts to 
restore lake habitats and ecosystems.  Significant changes to the lakes 
and their basin have taken place within the last decade, and scientific 
understanding of these complex physical and biological systems has 
evolved as well.  This session will be an opportunity for the GSA 
membership to be updated on the latest develops in the Great Lakes, and 
for members (including students) to present results of new research in 
the U.S. and Canada.
