The water levels of the Great Lakes are primarily governed by the net basin supplies (NBS) of each lake which are the sum of over -lake precipitation and basin runoff minus lake evaporation. Recent studies projected the future NBS of the Great Lakes by dynamically downscaling General Circulation...
Throughout the Great Lakes, water levels have a long history of fluctuating within a range of relatively consistent lows and highs. In recent years however, the speed and extremity of that cycle appears to be changing -- causing devastating damage to shorelines and infrastructure in waterfront co...
The Great Lakes helped make the U.S. an economic powerhouse. Now climate change, pollution, and invasive species threaten their complex ecosystems.
He says he thinks major action is needed in order to save the Great Salt Lake. “It’s not going to do it with baby steps. These are tiny baby steps that should have been taken 20 years ago,” Frankel said. If the water levels continue to drop, the lake could get too salty for ...
TheUnited StatesandCanadawork together to improve conditions in theGreat lakesarea. Officials are now working to change a treaty about ways to slow or stop the effects of climate change. They say that less ice formation over the lakes in recent years has caused lower water levels. The areas ...
Great Lakes water levels rose 0.7–1.5m from 2013 to 2019, increasing surface water volume by 285km3. Solid Earth's elastic response to the increased mass load is nearly known: The Great Lakes floor fell 8–23mm, and the adjacent land fell 3–14mm. Correcting GPS measurements for this ...
摘要: This chapter focuses on water policy in the Great Lakes region to illustrate the complexities of transboundary, multi-level water governance and policy regimes in Canada. The chapter begins with an inDOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-42806-2_9 年份: 2017 ...
The Great Lakes between the US and Canada are the largest bodies of fresh water in the world. For a long time, people lived happily beside the Lakes until the countries began to build factories along the shores. Pollution was killing the Lakes; pretty soon, the Lakes’ ecosystem was not ...

Numerous long-term trends in the rate-of-change in monthly mean Great Lakes water levels are identified for the period 1860 to 1998. Statistically significant trends are found for 2, 4, 5, and 7 months of the year for Lakes Superior, Michigan-Huron, Erie, and Ontario, respectively. Many ...
