IISD Experimental Lakes Area
IISD Experimental Lakes Area is the world's freshwater laboratory. This is the only place in the world where scientists can manipulate real lakes, over the long term, to understand what human activity does to fresh water.
Experimental Lakes Area
IISD Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA, known as ELA before 2014) [2] is an internationally unique research station encompassing 58 formerly pristine freshwater lakes in Kenora District, Ontario, Canada. [3] [4] In response to the International Joint Commission (IJC)'s 1965 recommendations related to transboundary pollution, [5] the federal and provincial governments set aside these lakes to ...
About IISD Experimental Lakes Area in Ontario
The Experimental Lakes Area was a truly original concept—and it continues to be. The discipline of experimenting on whole lakes and their watersheds to understand the impacts of human activity on fresh water, and to use that scientific knowledge to influence practice and policy, has had an incredible impact on environmental policies worldwide ...
IISD Experimental Lakes Area
IISD Experimental Lakes Area is one of the world's most influential freshwater research facilities. It features a collection of 58 small lakes and their watersheds in Northwestern Ontario, Canada, as well as a facility with accommodations and laboratories for up to 60 personnel.
What is the Experimental Lakes Area?
The Experimental Lakes area is a collection of 58 small lakes are located in Northwestern Ontario. Since its inception in 1968, the ELA has brought together scientists to create one of the most comprehensive and longest running data collections on freshwater lakes. These lakes are isolated from human impacts, allowing researchers to run real ...

Lakes Area "IISD Experimental Lakes Area is basically the International Space Station of lake science. It is the only place in the universe where researchers can carry out a certain type of science, and so scientists from across the globe flock there to carry out one-of-a-kind research." —David J. Ruck, President/Producer, Great Lakes ...
What is ELA?
The Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) is a unique Canadian facility for ground breaking freshwater research and the only one of its kind in the world. An outdoor laboratory where whole-ecosystem research on environmental problems are carried out, the ELA provides the world with vital information about fresh water. Founded in 1968, ELA offers scientists the unique…
Meet the Scientists Who Pollute Lakes on Purpose
IISD Experimental Lakes Area. In the late 1960s, the ELA saw its first suite of experiments to test eutrophication. A team of scientists led by David Schindler, now a professor of ecology at the ...
IISD Experimental Lakes Area: The world's living freshwater laboratory
Algal blooms are IISD Experimental Lakes Area's reason for being - the site was originally set up to determine what was causing them. Compelled to act by the growing prevalence of those smelly layers of green sludge on lakes across North America, a group of plucky Canadian scientists successfully convinced the Government of Canada to set ...
What is Ontario's experimental lakes area?
The experimental lakes area's educational co-ordinator, Julianna Wanke, holds up a ruler while explaining long-term research at one of the lakes. The research facility first opened in 1968 because algae blooms were choking out oxygen and killing fish in Lake Erie. The cause was poorly understood, especially since multiple pollutants running ...
