The International Decade for the East African Lakes (IDEAL) was conceived to bring together the scientific community working on the East African Lakes. The goals of IDEAL are to: retrieve a long, high resolution record of climate change in tropical East Africa; to establish a comprehensive training program for African students and scientists in a research partnership between African and northern hemisphere scientists; and to investigate the biogeochemistry and physical dynamics of the lakes to better understand the paleoclimate record and to aid in understanding the lakes as unique regional resource.
