International Society of Limnology SIL

International Society of Limnology SIL is a scientific society based in the United States. With a small team of 3 employees, SIL focuses its efforts on the advancement of limnological research and its applications to address global challenges facing freshwater ecosystems. SIL's work centers on understanding the complexities of lakes, rivers, wetlands, and other inland saline ecosystems. The organization's mission is to promote fundamental knowledge about the structure, function, and evolution of these vital ecosystems, crucial for their sustainable management and protection. A key aspect of SIL's activities is the organization of international congresses held every two years in different countries. These events bring together limnologists from around the world to share their research findings, engage in workshops, and participate in scientific excursions to diverse aquatic habitats. SIL also publishes "Inland Waters," a renowned scientific journal that disseminates cutting-edge research and fosters global dialogue within the limnological community.
