Abstract Incorporation of physical limnological processes within the water quality/contaminant modelling framework of large lake systems is fundamental for accurate simulation of transport, distribution and pathways of pollutants. Specific examples of water quality/contaminant model applications to the North American Great Lakes are presented with emphasis on models which incorporate physical processes to solve eutrophic and toxic contaminant problems. Examples of circulation and transport model application to lakes and coastal areas as well as thermocline models are briefly described. Water quality models which incorporate such physical limnological processes include eutrophication models, contaminant transport models (river plume, lake and coastal cases). Specific examples are provided primarily from applications in the lower Great Lakes.

The commitment to advance the protection of the North American Great Lakes and the Baltic Sea continues during the COVID-19 pandemic. The resilience of the research community was displayed as policy decisions were made for the first virtual conferences this year to share scientific findings and expertise in both regions. As this pandemic continues to challenge the world, countries have responded to the threat and continue to deal with the uncertainties of this wicked transboundary problem in many different ways. This article discusses key governance and policy issues that have been revealed thus far that can inform the governance of the transboundary North American Great Lakes and the Baltic Sea. Key lessons from the pandemic include waiting for total scientific certainty to act can lead to fatal consequences and our symbiotic connection with nature. Further insights from the pandemic include the importance of context, science-based leadership, institutional accountability, and acknowledging that nature knows no borders.
