NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Laboratory @NOAA_GLERL is an amazing laboratory full of brilliant scientists who work incredibly hard to help preserve the Great Lakes as a resource for generations of future Americans.

I'm excited to promote our new Great Lakes ice prediction model paper in J. Hydrology. The model rivals the accuracy of traditional physics-based models. Congrats to Dr. Hazem Abdelhady on this great work. Read for free here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kD3H…

Great meeting of the Indiana Water Resources Association @WaterIndiana this week at Purdue!! Our lab presented findings on #LakeMichigan shoreline erosion...Takeaway from our recently submitted paper: recent erosion could have been worse, believe it or not!
During 1998-2013, waves and water levels were low, allowing the shoreline to rebuild substantially. Between 2013 and 2020, the Indiana shoreline eroded significantly. The net, however, was that the shoreline generally gained sand between 1998-2020, believe it or not!

Here's a cool video for #FlumeFriday... an experiment I did ages ago during my Ph.D. for fun with Jeff Koseff but is just now seeing the light of day it deserves. Just submitted it to this year's Gallery of Fluid Motion at the upcoming APS meeting. youtu.be/onVu-inwAFU

Community Scientists Recover Micrometeorites from Lake Michigan - Eos eos.org/articles/community-s… Really cool story about a community science effort in Lake Michigan. Those kids must have been stoked when they realized what they found!!

Community Scientists Recover Micrometeorites from Lake Michigan - Eos

A team of scientists, educators, and teenagers discovered the objects, some of which may have been delivered by a fireball that streaked across the sky in 2017.

Great day of microstructure profiling on Lake Michigan, trying to quantify turbulent mixing rates before stratification sets in. ~2km of hand-pulled profiles!! Beautiful weather (for April) and fingers crossed that the data cooperate...#LakeMichigan @RSI_Turbulence @PurdueCE

Always great donning the Santa suits this time of year in the name of Lake Michigan science! Unless the suit leaks profusely…. But the data rocks! Last microstructure of 2021 around these parts. Happy holidays everyone! @RSI_Turbulence @ILINSeaGrant @PurdueCE
