Three Ways Our Summer Research Season Will Look Different This Year

The IISD Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA) has modified its 2020 summer research season to prioritize health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on maintaining long-term datasets while pausing new experimental research.

• The IISD Experimental Lakes Area is reducing the scale of its 2020 summer research season to protect the health of employees, research partners, and local communities, though it will continue essential monitoring.
• IISD-ELA aims to maintain a 52-year continuous dataset covering lake chemistry, fish populations, ice depth, and temperature by deploying a small group of researchers for short, controlled trips.
• New whole-lake research projects scheduled for 2020, specifically those investigating the effects of anti-depressants and microplastics on freshwater ecosystems, have been postponed.
