Dear Colleagues
Summer ASLO this year is be held in historic St John's, Newfoundland, Canada, June 8-13, and one of the highlighted themes for the meeting
will be coldwater ecosystems. We are organizing the following special session that you may like to consider participating in:
SS31. Polar Lakes: Sentinels of Environmental and Climatic Change Organizers: John P. Smol, Queen's University & Warwick Vincent, Laval
University Polar regions are especially sensitive to climatic and environmental changes, and there is a growing body of limnological and
paleolimnological evidence documenting marked ecosystem changes in high latitudes. This session aims to bring together limnologists and
paleolimnologists working in Arctic and Antarctic regions to examine and synthesize the climatic and other environmental impacts affecting
polar lakes, ponds and other aquatic ecosystems.
The Abstract deadline is 28 February; for further information see: http://www.aslo.org/meetings/stjohns2008/
Best regards
Warwick and John
