International Field Years on Lake Erie (IFYLE)
NOAA GLERL is leading a large scale collaborative research
effort on Lake Erie. The project, the International Field Years on
Lake Erie (IFYLE), began in May 2005, with a focus on hypoxia and
harmful algal blooms. + Read more

Real-time Environmental Coastal Observations
Network (RECON) Project
This project brings together a team of NOAA and Great Lakes institutes
to construct experimental, integrated environmental observing
systems. The integrated environmental observatory provide real-time
observations of chemical, biological, and physical parameters.

Real-time Meteorological Observation Network
GLERL established and maintains a GLERL established and maintains
a network of real-time meteorological stations at exposed coastal
sites around southern Lake Michigan (Chicago, Milwaukee, Kenosha,
South Haven and Michigan City) for the purposes of analyzing the
impact of the meteorological data obtained by this network on nowcasts
and forecasts of waves and circulation in the Great Lakes Coastal
Forecasting System.

No Ballast On Board Vessels (NOBOBs) as Vectors for Nonindigenous
Species Introductions to the Great Lakes
The ballasting operations of NOBOB vessels present a previously
overlooked risk as a possible vector for invasions via residual
ballast material, but the magnitude of risk remains unresolved.

A fast, accurate model of weekly or monthly runoff volumes
(with a daily internal computation interval) with relatively simple
data requirements.
