GLERL Partnerships
The Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory maintains a diverse
list of research partnerships. These include participating universities,
municipalities, State, Federal, and international agencies, non-governmental
institutions, and many others. These partnerships foster mutually beneficial
research and collaboration, promote efficient information exchange and
dissemination, and help identify and take advantage of shared resources
and expertise.

Onsite Partnerships
Onsite partnerships provide a unique opportunity for close collaboration,
while sharing infrastructure costs, equipment, and personnel.
Cooperative
Institute for Limnology and Ecosystems Research (CILER).
CILER is housed at the University of Michigan, with researchers working
onsite at GLERL and in the field. Established in 1989, CILER has direct
responsibilities for research in fresh water; but also supports research
in estuarine and coastal marine environments. CILER research is focused
in five areas: climate and large-lake dynamics, coastal and nearshore
processes, large-lake ecosystem structure and function, remote sensing
of large lake and coastal ocean dynamics and marine environmental engineering.
Great
Lakes Sea Grant Extension Office. Sea Grant - a national
network of universities - is a unique partnership of public and private
sectors that combines research, education and technology transfer for
public service. Through its network of Advisory Service (Extension) agents
and its use of modern communications and education techniques, the Great
Lakes Sea Grant Network plays a central role in supplying the region and
the nation with usable solutions to pressing problems and providing the
basic information needed to better manage Great Lakes resources.
Thunder
Bay Marine Sanctuary Office. NOAA's National Marine Sanctuary Program focuses
on protecting our nation's marine resources - both natural and cultural.
In October 2000, NOAA and the State of Michigan entered into an agreement
to jointly manage the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Underwater
Preserve. The 448-square mile sanctuary and underwater preserve protects
an estimated 116 historically significant shipwrecks ranging from nineteenth
century wooden side-wheelers to twentieth century steel-hulled steamers.
IAGLR Business Office. The International Association for
Great Lakes Research (IAGLR) is a scientific organization made up of researchers
studying the Laurentian Great Lakes and other large lakes of the world,
as well as those with an interest in such research. IAGLR promotes all
aspects of large lakes research, and communicate research findings through
publications and meetings.
Other Partnerships & Collaborations
Cooperative Institute for Climate
and Ocean Research (CICOR). Joint Institute of Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) and NOAA. CICOR builds ties between WHOI
investigators and colleagues at NOAA laboratories.
