Understanding Great Lakes water level variability

Understanding Great Lakes water level variability

Dr. Andrew Gronewold, Associate Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Michigan

Across the Great Lakes region, the past decade has been characterized by water abundance.  Extremely high water levels on the Great Lakes, coupled with inland and coastal flooding, have raised important questions about drivers behind historical changes in the regional water balance and how they might change in the future.  Here, we explore and contrast the evolution of the Great Lakes hydrologic cycle over the past century with projections for future water supplies in light of both climate change and potential changes in human behavior.
