Great Lakes Center
https://greatlakescenter.buffalostate.edu/about
Research at the Great Lakes Center focuses on the ecology and ecosystems of the Great Lakes and their tributaries. GLC research scientists, affiliates at Buffalo State University, and collaborators from other institutions bring diverse areas of expertise from a variety of disciplines to the Great Lakes Center. The interdisciplinary approach enables scientists to provide policymakers with information, which in turn promotes more informed decisions about ways to protect water quality, support the survival of native species, manage nuisance invasive species, monitor carcinogens in the food web, and many more. Research at the GLC contributes to the scientific understanding of the complex interactions that occur in aquatic ecosystems around the world and how these impact on society.
