Long-term monitoring programs helped the Great Lakes community to identify where problems have occurred, and, can provide evidence that remedial actions have worked. Dr. Bowerman will provide examples of how long-term monitoring projects are used in the Great Lakes, and some of the unique problems these monitoring programs face.* **Date**: *Tuesday, February 15, 2011* **Time**: *6PM* **Location**: *Chemistry Building, Room 1800 University of Michigan central campus 930 N.

Sander Robinson Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecosystems Research (CILER) /Hosted by the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources and Environment, CILER was established in 1989 as a center of excellence that serves as a focal point for collaborative research between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and universities around the Great Lakes region. Research focuses on improving scientific understanding and the prediction of key physical, chemical, and biological processes in order to facilitate the restoration, protection, and management of natural resources. The Institute also trains new and upcoming researchers through postdoctoral and undergraduate and graduate student fellowships./ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
