DESCRIPTION:Dr. Arkady Yu. Terzhevik and Prof. Nikolai Filatov\, Northern 
 Water Problems Institute\, Karelian Research Center\, Russian Academy of S
 ciences\nAbstract:\nThe Great European Lakes attract increasing attention 
 of both researchers and end-users. These lakes are important as drinking p
 urposes\, recreation\, water transport\, energy\, together with the use of
  biological resources\, the impacts of pulp-and-paper industry and wastes 
 discharge of cities and towns located on the shores and in the catchment a
 reas. These challenges will require to develop scientifically substantiate
 d recommendations for the rational use and protection of these water resou
 rces. The necessity to minimise the impact of anthropogenic eutrophication
  and water pollution\, which have reached global scope and jeopardize the 
 quality of the already limited freshwater resources\, has triggered quite 
 a number of various studies in limnology\, mathematical modeling\, economi
 cs\, with view to conservation\, restoration\, and efficient use of the re
 sources of large stratified lakes.\nThe Northern Water Problems Institute 
 and the Limnology Center are developing a multi-disciplinary study of comp
 lex processes under the ice of the largest lake in Europe\, Lake Ladoga. T
 his project will investigate thermohydrodynamic and biological processes d
 uring the winter period during 5 to 7 months (November - May) from freeze-
 up to freeze brake period. This presentation will give an overview of Lake
  Ladoga and the research project proposed by the Northern Water Problems I
 nstitute.
