Great Lakes Research Review 2002

Eight years ago, staff from the Great Lakes Program, the Great Lakes Research Consortium, and New York Sea Grant realized an information gap existed between peer reviewed journal articles and newsletter type information related to Great Lakes research. The Great Lakes Research Review was created to fill that gap by providing a substantive overview of research being conducted throughout the basin. It is designed to inform researchers, policymakers, educators, managers and stakeholders about Great Lakes research efforts, particularly but not exclusively being conducted by scientists affiliated with the Consortium and its member institutions. Each issue has a special theme. Past issues have focused on the fate and transport of toxic substances, the effects of toxics, fisheries issues, and exotic species. The most recent volumes have focused on the Lake Ontario, St. Lawrence River and Lake Erie Ecosystems. The present issue is the first of two describing projects funded through the New York State Great Lakes Protection Fund. We gratefully acknowledge all of the contributing authors who willingly share their efforts for this publication

Great Lakes Research Review 1999

The present issue is the second of two volumes describing some of the work related to the Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River ecosystem. These issues have been prepared in conjunction with our St. Lawrence River-Lake Ontario (SLRLO) Research Initiative which is organizing research teams to improve understanding of these linked systems and their relationships and to support the Lake Ontario Lakewide Management Plan and the restoration and protection of the St. Lawrence River.

Great Lakes Research Review 2000

Several years ago, staff from the Great Lakes Program, the Great Lakes Research Consortium, and New York Sea Grant realized an information gap existed between peer reviewed journal articles and newsletter type information related to Great Lakes research. The Great Lakes Research Review was created to fill that gap by offering a substantive overview of research being conducted throughout the basin. This publication is designed to inform researchers, policy-makers, educators, managers, and stakeholders about Great Lakes research efforts

Great Lakes Research Review 2001

We also wish to thank the SUNY ESF Office of News and Publications for assistance

Great Lakes Research Review 1998

The Great Lakes Research Review serves an important role in facilitating the communication of ongoing research being conducted on the Great Lakes. Given that this issue will focus on Lake Ontario, this serves as an excellent opportunity to convey the goals of the Lake Ontario Lakewide Management Plan (or “LaMP”). Research specific to Lake Ontario is essential for gaining a better understanding of the Lake Ontario ecosystem in order to effectively restore, protect, and manage this system
