SUMMARY:MGLP: On thin ice: Are lakes feeling the heat?
DESCRIPTION:Register here \n\n\n\nOur planet is experiencing accelerated climate warming\, with dramatic consequences not only on lake ecology\, but also on the ecosystem services we rely on from our freshwater resources. Lakes with seasonal ice cover\, which represent more than half of the world’s lakes\, are especially sensitive to a changing climate\, as ice cover is a strong determinant of lake ecosystem functioning. Lakes are losing ice cover at unprecedented rates. On average\, ice duration is shorter by 17 days/century. However\, in the past 25 years\, lake ice loss is 6 times faster\, with some lakes not freezing every winter. By the end of the century\, over 200\,000 lakes may no longer regularly freeze and almost 6\,000 lakes may permanently lose ice cover with climate warming. With reduced ice cover\, lakes may stratify earlier which can lead to elevated water temperatures\, primary production\, and likelihood of algal blooms\, some of which may be toxic. Mitigation of greenhouse gases is essential to preserving this ecological\, cultural\, and economically important resource.

SUMMARY:MGLP: Conservationists' perspectives of governance in the Iowa Great Lakes
DESCRIPTION:Register here\n \n\nMultiple activities within watershed boundaries impact the quality of freshwater systems. Since many of these systems are managed by complex governance structures\, there is a need to understand how social settings and interactions between stakeholders can impact governance. This presentation examines stakeholders’ perspectives of governance in the Iowa Great Lakes region. These lakes are a valuable freshwater system because they are a popular tourist destination and drinking water source for communities\, but they reside in a watershed with large amounts of agricultural production and development. Because of these various interests\, conservationists must work within a complex governance structure to protect these lakes. This presentation examines conservationists’ perspectives on the region’s environmental pressures\, barriers they encounter\, and solutions within this system. Our results highlight the difficulties of working with this system to mitigate environmental pressures as well as possible solutions.
