"Impact of Climate Change on the Great Lakes
Ecosystem - A NOAA Science Needs Assessment Workshop to Meet
Emerging Challenges”
July 29 - 31, 2008
Hosted by:
NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research
Laboratory (GLERL)
Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecosystems Research
(CILER)
Great Lakes
Sea Grant Network
NOAA Great Lakes Regional
Team
Location:
School
of Natural Resources
and
Environment
University of Michigan
Central
Campus
Ann Arbor, Michigan
The overarching purpose of the workshop
is to develop a NOAA
research strategy that addresses climate change impact on Great Lakes coastal ecosystems as driven by user
needs. The workshop will bring together NOAA
and
other Great Lakes scientists together
with
stakeholders to:
1) Examine the
current state of knowledge of the physical, chemical, and biological
impact of
climate change on Great Lakes coastal
waters
and connecting channels. Such a
knowledge base includes current scientific understanding, products,
services,
expertise, monitoring and observing systems, datasets and forecast
models.
2) Develop a dialogue
with Great Lakes stakeholders to identify their key needs related to
the impact
of climate change on Great Lakes
resources.
3) Document key
challenges that climate change impacts pose in continuing effective
management,
restoration and protection of the integrity of the Great Lakes
Ecosystem and
related resources of particular concern to stakeholders.
