  • Collaborative Research: Multi-Scale Study of Lake Breezes and the Impact of Marine Boundary Layers on Convection in the Great Lakes Region

    Created by admin on August 16, 2011

    Coastal zones of the United States are crucially important to many aspects of society. More than half of the United States population lives within 80 km of a coastline and greater than 40 million people reside in the Great Lakes region. Great Lakes lake breezes, which occur most often during the spring and summer months, can have large economic, societal, and climatic impacts on coastal regions.

  • Collaborative Research: Sources and Sinks of Stoichiometrically Imbalanced Nitrate in the Laurentian Great Lakes

    Created by admin on August 16, 2011

    This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).Over large scales encompassing heterogeneous conditions, biogeochemical mechanisms act to achieve a stoichiometric balance between nitrogen and phosphorus. Locally, however, imbalances can develop. The Laurentian Great Lakes are a vast freshwater system where nitrate has been steadily accumulating for decades.

  • Great Lakes COSEE

    Created by admin on August 16, 2011

    This award establishes a regional Center for Ocean Science Education Excellence (COSEE) in the Great Lakes area. The new Center adds the critical freshwater component to the COSEE network through a diverse set of scientist and educator collaborations across the Great Lakes region. Sea Grant educators will lead the education efforts. Native Americans and urban teachers and students will be targeted in the Great Lakes/ocean literacy effort.

  • Planning Proposal for the Lake Erie Center

    Created by admin on August 16, 2011

    This award provides support for a strategic planning effort by the The University of Toledo's Lake Erie Center (LEC). The LEC is an interdisciplinary research and education facility dedicated to solving environmental problems at the land-water interface and bay-lake exchanges in the Great Lakes, the world's largest freshwater ecosystem. Its location on the shore of western Lake Erie provides lake access and proximity to agricultural and wetland habitats at the gateway to the upper and lower Great Lakes.
