EAST LANSING -- Lower lake levels, less ice cover, more algae, more invasive species and more waterborne diseases linked to sewer overflows after severe storms.

Those are among the dire forecasts about the impact of global warming on the Great Lakes from scientists who concluded two days of presentations Thursday at Michigan State University.

Some changes already are dramatic. Consider the speedy warming of Lake Superior, where water temperatures are rising twice as fast as air temperatures.

Through powerful partnerships established in communities from Michigan to Malawi, Michigan State University is helping to develop sustainable solutions that address the world’s most pressing environmental problems.

The University is leveraging its world-class values and traditional land-grant values to make a positive impact on society for people locally and globally. MSU works with communities from the ground level up to create solutions that foster prosperity and a better quality of life for years to come.
