UWM School of Freshwater Sciences is the host for this year’s International Association for Great Lakes Research conference at Baird Center. Great Lakes scientists gathered in Milwaukee with programming around the theme “Creating Great Lakes Resilence.” Topics include algae blooms, climate change and Indigenous knowledge.
Dean Rebecca Klaper and associate dean Harvey Bootsma have served as site and program chairs on the committee. Both were interviewed by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at the conference, discussing resilience not only in the lakes, but the science itself.
