Great Lakes Research Center at Michigan Tech

High-res lakebed data = better protection for our freshwater resources 🌊 Michigan Tech researchers are helping map the Great Lakes like never before. Read more about this important work. 👇 mtu.news/LM0o50VXaHk

On July 9th, we gathered for a reception to celebrate the incredible artwork that Jim Dee created and donated to the GLRC a few months ago. 🎉 Have you seen it on our second floor yet? Can you spot anything hidden within the piece? 👀 #Artwork #GreatLakesResearch

Congratulations to Anna Stuhlmacher on her recent funding from the @NSF! 🎉 Her project will investigate the benefits and barriers of using biogas generators within the wastewater treatment process with algorithms. 💧 #RecentFunding #Wastewater #Great Lakes Research

The Historical Society of Michigan's UP History Conference held at the end of last month was a huge success thanks to many campus partners! Three GLRC members were part of that effort: Erika Vye, Sarah Scarlett, and Tim Scarlett. #instahistory #Michigan #GreatLakesResearch

Congratulations to GLRC's Travis White! The Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC)—@LampreyControl—awarded his project titled, "Post-release Survival of Angler-Caught Lake Trout Using Deep-water Descending Device." 🎣 #deepwater #greatlakes #thegreatlakes #GreatLakesResearch

❄️ Blizzards, subfreezing temps, and sunshine—no problem. We partnered with @mtu_glrc to deploy, operate, and recover our Arctic Power Station prototype in the harshest winter conditions. 🔗 mtu.edu/news/2025/06/t…

Congratulations to the 2025 Bhakta Rath Research Award recipients, Miraj B. Kayastha and his faculty advisor, Pengfei Xue! Kayastha and Xue discuss their advanced regional Earth system models with MTU News: mtu.news/yR6x50Wg3p6

New opportunities for #Arctic research + defense! @SeatrecInc’s Arctic Power Station completed a successful month-long test at @MTU_GLRC’s Frozen Marine Testbed—operating in harsh winter conditions and generating power from temperature differences. 🔗 seatrec.com/seatrec-unlock…

Last week, GLRC member Valoree Gagnon and her PhD student Mai Anh Tran attended the IAGLR conference. Mai Anh greeted people from the GLRC booth and presented on her research! #GreatLakesResearch #GreatLakes #TheGreatLakes #PhD

We spotted a double rainbow (and its reflection on the portage) last night outside of the GLRC! #GreatLakesResearch #rainbow #reflection #nature

GLRC researchers and their continued work to search for a missing plane in #LakeSuperior made the front page of the Mining Gazette! 📰 Read the article here. mininggazette.com/news/front-pag…

It's Michigan's Great Lakes and Fresh Water Week! We're happy to help kick of the educational celebration. 🛥️🌊

Last week, the Soliton was on west Lake Superior near Freda conducting a side scan sonar survey. This investigation looked at some of the targets that GLRC researchers identified in a multi-beam survey their search for the #NCAR airplane, missing in 1968. #GreatLakesResearch

We love waving at big boats coming down the portage, especially when they're one of our partners! Did you see the @USGS boat this morning? #HappyFriday #GreatLakesResearch

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a boat ride! The Agassiz took a group of researchers to Isle Royale to measure browsing impact on vegetation due to moose as part of a long-term predator prey study. #boatride #isleroyale #predatorprey #researchers #nationalpark 📸: Travis White

It’s an incredible feeling when we get to put the Agassiz back in the water after her long hibernation for winter. 🎉🛥️🌊 #greatlakesresearch #michigantech #greatlakes #researchvessel #boatseason
