  • The IISD Experimental Lakes Area is scaling back its 2020 summer research season to prioritize health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. While new whole-lake experiments on microplastics and anti-depressants are postponed, a small team will conduct essential monitoring to maintain a 52-year unbroken dataset on lake chemistry, temperature, ice depth, and fish populations. Most staff are currently working from home.

  • The document describes Floating Treatment Wetlands (FTWs) as artificial platforms that enable aquatic emergent plants to grow in deep water. These systems are designed to treat wastewater, industrial contaminants, and storm water runoff by transforming pollutants into harmless byproducts. The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) is currently exploring the application of FTWs in Canada and at the IISD Experimental Lakes Area.
