Program Background This program supports research on physical processes in large lakes and the coastal ocean and their relationship to the biology, chemistry, and geochemistry of the ecosystem. This research is used to develop models to identify, forecast, and assist in managing and/or mitigating water quality and natural resource problems. Wind, waves, and thermal structure are primary determinants of water movements, mixing, and circulation in large lakes and (along with tides) in coastal ocean areas. Additionally GLERL conducts 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.
