A NEW study by CIGLR scientists Abby Hutson, Ayumi Fujisaki-Manome & 2022 Great Lakes summer fellow Ryan Glassman explains winter weather patterns in the Great Lakes Region of the United States are driven by large-scale weather systems known as “extratropical cyclones” and how the patterns are changing in a warming climate.

Scientists just discovered cold, dark sinkholes in Lake Michigan. “It’s an extreme environment,” said CIGLR Director Gregory Dick. “We typically have to go to Antarctica or Yellowstone National Park or some exotic location to get these extreme ecosystems, but this is in our backyard in the Great Lakes.”
