Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory scientist David F. Reid, along with colleagues Troy L. Holcombe (NESDIS/NGDC), Lisa A. Taylor (NESDIS/NGDC), John S. Warren of the Canadian Hydrographic Service, and Charles E. Herdendorf of the Ohio State University, are recipients of the International Association of Great Lakes Research (IAGLR) Chandler-Misener award for 1997.
This award is presented annually by the International Association of Great Lakes Research to the authors of the peer-reviewed scientific paper appearing in the Journal of Great Lakes Research which is judged to be "most notable." Papers are evaluated on the basis of originality, substantial research contribution, and clarity of presentation. This is the second year in a row that a GLERL author has won this prestigious award. Presentation of the award took place on May 20th at IAGLR's annual banquet, held in conjunction with the 41st Conference on Great Lakes Research, convened at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
The winning paper, "Lakefloor Geomorphology of Western Lake Erie," presents a wide-ranging discussion of Western Lake Erie geology, as revealed by new bathymetry, which the authors compiled. The paper includes a large full-color bathymetric map of Western Lake Erie.
The bathymetry and resulting paper are an outgrowth of the NOAA Earth Science Data and Information Management (ESDIM) sponsored Great Lakes Data Rescue Project carried out at NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research's (OAR) Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL). An international agreement between NOAA and the Canadian Hydrographic Service serves as the basis for U.S. and Canadian cooperative efforts to assemble new bathymetry for the four Great Lakes shared by the two countries.
