This study developed and uses a model to analyze the direct and indirect impacts of possible future water use restrictions due to climate change on economic activities on the Canadian Great Lakes. The model aims to make the value of water more explicit to local,...
This study used historical data to develop models to predict surface water temperatures in Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario during three future time periods under two different warming scenarios. Its projections show that by the 2071-2100 period,...
This study focuses on multiple spatial and temporal scales to highlight not only the abundant regional availability of water, but also the potential for local shortages or conflicts over water. It aims to challenge practitioners and the public to understand how future...
This report presents the results of a 3-year project to identify and map climate resilient sites across the Great Lakes and Tallgrass Prairie region of the United States and Southern Canada. It is the first of three analyses to identify a comprehensive and connected...
This study examines opportunities to leverage green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) in Detroit. It explores the feasibility of developers investing in offsite GSI strategies that beautify and stabilize land in Detroit’s more vacant neighborhoods, weighing...
This literature review provides a contextual perspective on the current state of knowledge concerning climate change and demographic change in the Great Lakes region. It aims to inform research and policy agendas in the Great Lakes region to help Great Lakes states...
This report finds that Minnesota is projected to be warmer with a consistent or greater quantity of precipitation relative to 1990. By dynamically downscaling global projections, we find that precipitation timing and intensity changes are likely. Although the annual...
