GLERL Partnerships
The Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory maintains a diverse list of research partnerships. These include participating universities, municipalities, State, Federal, and international agencies, non-governmental institutions, and many others. These partnerships foster mutually beneficial research and collaboration, promote efficient information exchange and dissemination, and help identify and take advantage of shared resources and expertise.

Onsite Partnerships
Onsite partnerships provide a unique opportunity for close collaboration, while sharing infrastructure costs, equipment, and personnel.
Cooperative
Institute for Limnology and Ecosystems Research (CILER).
CILER is housed at the University of Michigan, with researchers
working onsite at GLERL and in the field. Established in 1989,
CILER has direct responsibilities for research in fresh water;
but also supports research in estuarine and coastal marine
environments. CILER research is focused in five areas: climate
and large-lake dynamics, coastal and nearshore processes,
large-lake ecosystem structure and function, remote sensing of
large lake and coastal ocean dynamics and marine environmental
engineering.
Great
Lakes Sea Grant Extension Office. Sea Grant - a national
network of universities - is a unique partnership of public and private
sectors that combines research, education and technology transfer for
public service. Through its network of Advisory Service (Extension) agents
and its use of modern communications and education techniques, the Great
Lakes Sea Grant Network plays a central role in supplying the region and
the nation with usable solutions to pressing problems and providing the
basic information needed to better manage Great Lakes resources.
Thunder
Bay Marine Sanctuary Office. NOAA's National Marine Sanctuary Program focuses
on protecting our nation's marine resources - both natural and cultural.
In October 2000, NOAA and the State of Michigan entered into an agreement
to jointly manage the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Underwater
Preserve. The 448-square mile sanctuary and underwater preserve protects
an estimated 116 historically significant shipwrecks ranging from nineteenth
century wooden side-wheelers to twentieth century steel-hulled steamers.
IAGLR
Business Office. The International Association for Great Lakes
Research (IAGLR) is a scientific organization made up of researchers studying
the Laurentian Great Lakes and other large lakes of the world, as well
as those with an interest in such research. IAGLR promotes all aspects
of large lakes research, and communicate research findings through publications
and meetings.
Other Partnerships & Collaborations
Cooperative Institute for Climate and Ocean Research (CICOR). Joint Institute of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) and NOAA. CICOR builds ties between WHOI investigators and colleagues at NOAA laboratories.
