Great Lakes Science Center (Fed. Dept. of Interior) - Blog for Nov. 5, 2014

www.usgs.gov/blogs/greatlakescience/

 [w]e have the honor of conducting research across the entire five Great Lakes in a wide range of ecosystems, so there is a lot of science to cover—fish spawning, egg hatching, nutrient cycling, bird migrating, bud blooming, reproduction, colonization, growth, and dispersal. GLSC scientists attempt to describe the conditions under which all of these processes occur and what affects the survival or success of the associated communities and ecosystems.
At any hour of the day, any time of the year, there is a good chance that one of our scientists is braving the elements to collect valuable information.  From Atlantic salmon to sea lamprey to butterflies to bacteria, GLSC scientists continue to describe life in the Great Lakes basin, doing their part to uncover a few pages of nature’s infinite book of secrecy.
