Past Seminar Series
CIGLR co-sponsors and coordinates the joint CIGLR-GLERL Great Lakes Seminar Series, which brings in regional, national, and international researchers to talk about pertinent new and emerging scientific issues in the Great Lakes. These events facilitate collaborations between researchers, provide an educational opportunity for NOAA and university scientists, and serve as an outreach forum for stakeholders and the general public to attend.
For more information about this seminar series, to be included on an email list, or to request a visit to Ann Arbor to present your research, please contact Mary Ogdahl, CIGLR Program Manager.
