Lake Ontario once supported a large complex of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) populations that became extinct prior to scientific study. Since the 1860s, research efforts to conserve and reintroduce a sustainable population of Atlantic Salmon have focused on determining whether Lake Ontario's original salmon populations had migrated to the Atlantic Ocean as part of their lifecycle (anadromy), st...

As global warming increases, Great Lakes coastal communities will be subjected to significant climatic changes driven by increasing temperature, changing precipitation and wind patterns, and a potential increase in the frequency of severe events such as windstorms and ice storms. Climate change will impact all life in every ecosystem, and people who live and work in these systems will need to a...

BACKGROUND Ecosystem management requires organizing, synthesizing, and projecting information at a large scale while simultaneously addressing public interests, dynamic ecological properties, and a continuum of physicochemical conditions. We compared the impacts of seven water level management plans for Lake Ontario on a set of environmental attributes of public relevance. METHODOLOGY AND FIN...

Paleoclimatic studies with multiple proxy data have increasingly improved our understanding of Holocene climate. A dry and warm climate in the early and middle Holocene has been documented by numerous studies in eastern North America (T. Webb et al., 1983, 1993; COHMAP Members, 1988; Baker et al., 1992; R. Webb et al., 1993). Recent studies show that the classic dry and warm prairie period in m...
