The 1st International Conference on Water Security will be held in Toronto, Ontario. The conference complements the launch of Elsevier's new journal on Water Security. 

Themes and topics:

• How do water governance, institutions, aging infrastructure and finance come together to achieve water security in the developed world?
• The science of integrated water management (smart watersheds, water services, agricultural, energy, minerals and other use systems, environmental flows, legacies, collaborative governance, BMPs)
• Climate, renewable energy, economic development and demographic change and migration: challenges or opportunities for regional water security. Water security and conflict (either transboundary water cooperation or armed conflict and water)

The 61st Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research, will be held at the University of Toronto Scarborough, Ontario from June 18-22, 2018. The theme for 2018 is Great Science for Tomorrow’s Solutions.

Abstract submissions for both oral and poster presentations are welcome. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is January 19, 2018. View the Call for Abstracts for details.
