We're three weeks away from GVSU-AWRI's free community open house, celebrating 25 years since our doors opened in Muskegon! Come visit us on Saturday, July 11 from 10AM-2PM for all ages fun, including environmental science activities, research cruises on #MuskegonLake, ice cream, and more!
All hands on deck! Muskegon Public Schools students boarded the #WGJackson for a research cruise and experiential learning on Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan. Students took observational and analytical water samples and learned about our local waterways. 🔬 #FutureScientists
After another #GLPCleanup, operator Jamie Cross uses items like window screens to sort organics, plastics, and trash debris. Data is recorded and shared thanks to GLPCleanup, Council of the Great Lakes Region, Pollution Probe, & Meijer. See the results for 2025: www.greatlakesplasticcleanup.org
Congrats to #LuttentonLab graduate student Logan Clark for successfully defending his M.S. thesis, "In Hot Water: Movement of North Branch Au Sable River Brown Trout During Warm Stream Temperatures"! A summary of Logan's research is featured at gvsu.edu/wri.
The Laker Raker joined Meijer’s Adopt-a-Beach cleanup at Muskegon’s Pere Marquette Park. It is a part of the Great Lakes Plastic Cleanup, an initiative of the Council of the Great Lakes Region and Pollution Probe in Canada funded by Meijer. #GLPCleanup #Shorelinecleanup
