Great Lakes Study Group at Michigan Tech

The Lakes Remote Sensing Group is dedicated to understanding large scale limnological processes associated with seseasonal changes in temperature, dynamics of river plumes and wind-driven currents, and time scales of sediment exchange between the water column and bottom. The availability of new ocean color imagery has made it possible through multi-sensor analyses to begin linking physical forcings with biological variability.
