Symposium Morning Lecture
Water Security and Sustainability Across Earth's Largest Freshwater Bodies: A Great Lakes Perspective
Description: The Great Lakes hold roughly 20% of all the Earth's fresh surface water, and the ten largest lakes in the world (including the Great Lakes) hold roughly 80% of all the Earth's fresh surface water. Understanding how water flows through large lakes, and how it is used by people and wildlife living in large lake basins, is therefore critical to long-term global water supply and water security, as well as human and environmental health. In this lecture, Dr. Gronewold explores advances in regional and global hydrologic and climate science, and how that science is being used to improve coastal resilience and long-term sustainable use of the Laurentian Great Lakes, and other large lakes around the world.
