Announcement of the 2024 International Conference on

Great Lakes Research

(First Circular)

Due to increasing human activities and global changes, lakes worldwide are facing numerous challenges, including sediment accumulation, altered hydrological regime, toxic substance pollution, eutrophication, declining fishery resources, loss of biodiversity, ecosystem degradation, and tense human-lake relationships. Addressing these issues requires the collective wisdom of global lake researchers.

To gather global insights on lake conservation and utilization, and to stimulate new ideas and exchange innovative practices, Jiangxi Normal University proposes the organization of the International Conference on Great Lakes Research and the establishment of the International Forum for Great Lakes Research. A steering committee for this forum has been established, with Academician Xi Chen, Director of the Research Center for Ecology and Environment of Central Asia at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, serving as the chairman of the steering committee. The committee comprises 30 experts from around the world specializing in lake and basin research.

This forum is committed to promoting interdisciplinary integration through long-term monitoring, scientific research, technological demonstrations, and knowledge sharing. The ultimate goal is to achieve the health of lake ecosystems, sustainable economic prosperity, and harmonious human-nature relationships within lake regions, which can contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on a lake and basin scale.

This conference will focus on the following research directions for academic presentations: hydrology and water environment, watershed water resources management, environmental dynamic monitoring, ecosystem health assessment, ecological warning platform construction, environmental pollution prevention and control, ecological restoration and reconstruction, biodiversity conservation, sustainable development and utilization of lake resources, lake basin ecological economy and green development, watershed governance and comprehensive management.

2024年大湖研究国际研讨会第一轮通知

一、会议背景

人类活动干扰及全球变化的加剧，当前世界湖泊普遍面临着诸如泥沙淤积、水文节律改变、有毒物质污染、水体富营养化、渔业资源减少、生物多样性丧失、生态系统退化、人湖关系紧张等问题，这些问题的研究及解决需要汇集全世界湖泊研究人员的集体智慧。

为汇聚湖泊保护与利用的全球智慧，激发新思想，交流新实践。江西师范大学倡议举办大湖研究国际论坛，创立大湖研究国际协同创新中心，并成立了大湖研究国际论坛指导委员会，由中国科学院中亚生态与环境研究中心主任陈曦院士担任指导委员会主任，来自中国、欧洲、中亚、南亚、非洲、北美等国家和地区30位湖泊流域研究领域的专家担任指导委员会委员。大湖研究国际论坛致力于通过长期监测、科学研究、技术示范和知识共享的国际合作，促进多学科融合的产学研用一体化，努力实现湖泊及其流域的生态系统健康、经济持续繁荣、人地关系和谐，在湖泊及其流域尺度上助力联合国可持续发展目标（Sustainable Development Goals，SDGs）的实现。

本次会议将从以下研究方向征集学术报告，包括水文与水环境、流域水资源管理、环境动态监测、生态系统健康评价、生态预警平台建设、环境污染防治、生态修复与重建、生物多样性保护、湖泊资源可持续开发与利用、湖泊流域生态经济与绿色发展、流域治理与综合管理等。
