Thank you to both @iaglr.bsky.social and @scas-scsa.bsky.social communities for a wonderful week in Winnipeg this week and for appreciating the work we do to advance water science for everyone. #IAGLR26

PFAS session is on at #iaglr2026 conference. Learning about higher concentrations in traditional food with Ella Kinart from Trent U @iaglr.bsky.social @scas-scsa.bsky.social

This week, Association for Great Lakes Research (IAGLR) joint 15 other organizations to share about priorities for the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence River with elected officials in Ottawa. @iaglr.bsky.social

Last week, the Science Advisory Board of the @ijcsharedwaters.bsky.social met in Washington to share updates on current and future projects, including the draft of the bridging knowledge report and the last iteration of the Science Plan.

Great Lakes scientists are urging to consider invasive species and nutrients as part of the design of new swimming pool at the White House. @iaglr.bsky.social #aprilfool, #GreatLakes, #Science

Don't miss out on all the fantastic research featured in the first 2026 issue of the Journal of Great Lakes Research, with studies on microplastic hotspots, invasive impacts, walleye behavior, and more. JGLR, vol. 52, issue 1: https://bit.ly/4twtGH1 #JGLR #GreatLakesSci

This week started with a conversation about the National Water Security Strategy in Canada with elected officials. Thank you to my colleagues at @aquaaction.bsky.social , @experimentallakes.bsky.social, @cangeo.bsky.social for a great meeting !

Happy World Water Day to all my colleagues limnologists!

One take home message from this week meetings: the attacks on Canada are not supported by many Great Lakes elected officials- and thank you for making this clear.

IAGLR Executive Director Jérôme Marty joined partners in Washington, D.C. for #GreatLakesDay to highlight the importance of Great Lakes science in informing policies that protect the world’s largest freshwater system.

I’m excited to take part in an Water Watchers webinar on March 3, where I’ll share insights on the current state of the Great Lakes and why better road salt management is critical for protecting freshwater ecosystems. @iaglr.bsky.social @waterrangers.bsky.social @watersheds.ca

Wishing a good St Valentin to all my water friends and colleagues!

This was another productive week at @iaglr.bsky.social meeting with the ERBFF, @annaleighclark.bsky.social, the @glcommission.bsky.social and @glerl.bsky.social before a full day of Board meeting today!

Today is International Day of Women & Girls in Science! It is a privilege to work with a small but mighty team at the @iaglr.bsky.social where 86% of our staff and contractors is made up of woman in science. #WomenInScience

How healthy are the Great Lakes? It depends where. Results are being shared at the GL Forum this week in Chicago. See full report: binational.net/2026/01/20/2...

Happy #worldwetlandday26 to my colleagues caring about these amazing ecosystems that provided so many services and require much protection.

This winter has been a real one to date for the ice cover of the Great Lakes that has reached about 40% today. The champion is Lake Erie (95%) while Lake Ontario is at about 20%. Ice plays critical roles (ecology, erosion, weather etc..) for this region. Data: www.glerl.noaa.gov/data/ice/#ov...

The proposed changes to the definition of the Waters of the United States are not aligned with the intent of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. See comment submitted by @iaglr.bsky.social to EPA: iaglr.org/news/iaglr-w... #WOTUS; #GreatLakes; #EPA

Wishing a Happy Holidays to all my freshwater colleagues before starting a much needed break !!! 📷from Reindeer Island on Lake Winnipeg- Canadian Space Agency and @esa.int Sentinel-2
