We have reorganized our Research Programs. Most of
the research projects from this program are now organized under the Physical
Environment Prediction Research Program.
GLERL CLIMATE CHANGE and VARIABILITY PROGRAM
Task Leader: Brent Lofgren
This research program brings together projects that examine the potential
effects of climate change on the Great Lakes water resources and ecosystem.
Conduct studies to identify and improve our understanding of the impacts
of climate change and variability on socio-economic frameworks and ecosystem
structure and function, including those through intermediate effects such
as changes in the water supply of the Great Lakes Basin. This will aid
in improving planning for regional adaptation strategies. Analyze and
model climate variables over the last 100 years and projections in the
future to identify the implications to regional water resources, ice cover,
water levels, and ecosystem health in the Great Lakes Basin.
