Outlining the Problem and Offering Solutions
2023 Science Reporting Seminar
Water Level Predictions, Wetlands, Blanding’s Turtles, and Nearshore Water Quality
We hosted five experts who shared their in-depth research on vital aspects of the Great Lakes, ranging from the conservation of the Blanding’s Turtle and improving water quality monitoring, to understanding water level fluctuations and the impact of climate change. Their insights provide a fascinating glimpse into the complexities of our ecosystems and highlight the crucial role of ongoing research and community involvement. We invite you to delve deeper into these pressing topics, enhance your knowledge, and join the discussion. Click the link below to explore more and watch these thought-provoking presentations.
