Great Lakes Research

Great Lakes Research involves studying the five interconnected freshwater lakes—Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario—to understand their ecology, water quality, and how they are affected by factors like pollution, climate change, and invasive species. This research helps protect these vital ecosystems, supports fisheries, and ensures safe drinking water for millions. Scientists use advanced technology and data analysis to monitor water levels, temperature, and biological trends, providing insights that inform conservation efforts, policy decisions, and sustainable management practices for the Great Lakes region.
