Our project on Lake Baikal included many American and Russian collaborators. The main goal was to assess how the plankton community, with its many endemic species, would respond to warming and other global change stressors. This project held a special significance for Elena, because her mother is Buryat (indigenous people from Lake Baikal) and the lake is sacred to Buryat people.
