Notes From the Field: IISD-ELA celebrates its 2022 season
IISD Experimental Lakes Area is truly the world’s freshwater laboratory.
And as we celebrate our 2022 research season—the biggest one since the pandemic started—we want to share some notes from the field, from across the planet.
Watch videos from Vanuatu, hear notes from North Carolina, and read postcards from Phnom Penh*—from our collaborators excited to share what they’re going to be getting up to at IISD Experimental Lakes Area during its 54th research season.
*Disclaimer: These almost certainly won’t be the places you’ll be hearing from.
