Annual Finger Lakes Region Research Conference

Saturday, December 5,2009

The 1st Annual Finger Lakes Research Conference for students, faculty and other scientists was held Saturday, October 8, 2005 at the Finger Lakes Institute, located on the campus of Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York. The conference highlighted Finger Lakes scientific research, and provided opportunities to meet others interested in environmental science and scholarship, particularly as they apply to problems related to the Finger Lakes of western and central New York State. Both 15-minute oral presentations and afternoon poster displays were scheduled during the day-long conference. Presentations were either: 1) results of ongoing or completed research, or 2) research plans and proposals. Our goal for this annual conference is to highlight all aspects of Finger Lakes research.

Potential Themes include but are not limited to:

  • Wetland/Forest Ecosystem Studies;
  • Limnology
  • Fisheries, Trophic Interactions;
  • Ecosystem Modeling;
