Photons to Fish
The Ecosystem Indicators of Fish Productivity project is designed to provide insights into what drives fish productivity in freshwater systems.
Research
With 58 lakes reserved for scientific purposes, the IISD Experimental Lakes Area provides researchers with living laboratories and access to untapped research potential.
This unique structure allows IISD-ELA researchers to work with governments, industry and other academic scientists to identify and study new and emerging concerns before they become large-scale environmental problems.

Lake Ice
We are exploring the effect of climate change on when lakes freeze over and melt.
Mysis Reintroduction
Researchers at IISD-ELA are planning to re-introduce an important predatory zooplankton to a lake and monitoring ecosystem changes
The Lake 626 Diversion Project
In 2008, an experiment began in which scientists reduced water flowing into a lake to mimic drier conditions expected in the Canadian Boreal shield due to climate change.
Atmospheric Mercury
One ongoing, influential experiment involved adding small amounts of mercury to a lake and its watershed to mimic atmospheric mercury deposition from coal-fired power plants.
