A schematic representation of the Great Lakes has been developed that details interlinkages between the human and natural systems of the Basin. The project has been completed. This project includes computerizing a database of phytoplankton and zooplankton species identifications from Lakes Michigan and Ontario and providing an interpretive report on plankton community changes in these lakes from 1983-1992. This funding is provided to the WDNR for the maintenance and operation of Wisconsin atmospheric monitoring sites included in the Lake Michigan Mass Balance and Lake Superior Loading Study. Funds are also provided for the shut down of other GLAD sites in Lakes Michigan and one in Superior and Huron.
Funding is for the first year.
Products include annual interpretive data and QA reports. This funding will allow the University of Illinois to continue to collect and analyze samples for trace metals at the IADN sites and provide site operation support to Indiana University for trace organic sampling.
