SFS Annual Meeting 2015
"OUR FRESHWATER FUTURES"
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
May 17-21, 2015
The 21st century will be a time of choices for the world's freshwater ecosystems. Human population and economic growth is on a path to greatly increase demands on freshwater
resources, which are already unsustainably high in many parts of the world. Will we make good choices that satisfy human needs while sustaining high levels of biodiversity
and ecosystem function? Or will we continue to degrade freshwater ecosystems while failing to provide adequate water to the world's poor? How will freshwater science
contribute to the search for good solutions and their implementation?
As one of the world's leading groups of freshwater scientists, the Society for Freshwater Science has chosen "Our Freshwater Futures" as the theme for its 2015 annual
meeting in Milwaukee. Plenary sessions will feature leading freshwater scientists giving their insights into the problems that freshwater ecosystems and human societies
are facing, and every special session will include a talk that envisions future directions for the field covered by the special session. We invite you to join us on the
shores of Lake Michigan as SFS considers the future of the world's fresh waters.

The 2015 SFS meeting logo features a Hine's Emerald dragonfly (Somatochlora hineana), a federally-endangered species whose largest breeding population is in Door County, Wisconsin. The "venation" patterns on three of the dragonfly's wings represent the three major freshwater habitats: riverine (a stream network), lacustrine (a bathymetric map), and palustrine (the USGS map symbol for wetlands). The final dragonfly wing contains the Milwaukee skyline, portraying both the location of the 2015 meeting and the potential future of increasing urbanized influences on freshwater systems. The meeting logo was designed by SFS member and Wisconsin resident Gina LaLiberte.
