Climate Change in the Great Lakes Region What's New | General Resources | Related Resources 
What's New Feds want comments on Great Lakes stewardship Ashland Current (1/16) The National Ocean Council is seeking public input on a recently released plan for addressing oceanic, coastal, and Great Lakes issues across the U.S. No snow, no ice means no business for some Great Lakes Echo (1/10) While some rejoice the mild winter, the late ice and warmer temperatures hurt regional economies and could lower springtime water levels. Iceless lake concerns scientists Sandusky Register (1/9) Statistics compiled by the Great Lakes lab show that on Jan. 3, there was no ice on Lake Erie. Scientists say the lack of ice could be related to global warming. Where is winter lurking? The Buffalo News (1/9) The lake is at 39 degrees, and temperatures are above normal, but history shows that's no reason to write off ice and snow. Great Lakes water levels are on the rise The Windsor Star (12/30) Heavy rainfall and warmer than average temperatures the past few months in this region has been "water in the bank" to help restore close to normal averages of lake levels on the Great Lakes. Scientists say acid rain hurts Great Lakes maples Wall Street Journal (12/15) Acid rain may cause nitrogen build-up in soils across the Great Lakes region, causing considerable declines in maple tree abundance.
General Resources Climate Change and Variability Program NOAA, Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) This research program brings together projects that examine the potential effects of climate change on the Great Lakes water resources and ecosystem. Global Climate Change Resources Sustainable Minnesota Information on climate change in Minnesota and worldwide as well as plots of annual temperature trends. Great Lakes Regional Climate Change Assessment The Great Lakes assessment is one of 19 regional assessments sponsored by the U.S. EPA and coordinated by the U.S. Global Change Research Program. The Great Lakes Regional Assessment team consists of more than 30 faculty, research associates, graduate and undergraduate students, and external collaborators from around the region. Impacts of Climate Change on the Great Lakes Basin Environment Canada and NOAA The goal of this 1998 project is to improve our understanding of the complex interactions between climate variability and change, the environment, and social and economic systems so that informed regional adaptation responses can be developed for the sustainable management of the Basin. The Potential Impacts of Global Warming on the Great Lakes Region Includes critical findings for the Great Lakes region from the first National Assessment of the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change.
