The NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) conducts integrated, interdisciplinary environmental research in support of resource management and environmental services in coastal and estuarine waters, with a special emphasis on the Great Lakes. The laboratory performs field, analytical, and laboratory investigations to improve understanding and prediction of coastal and estuarine processes, and the interdependencies with the atmosphere, and sediments. Special emphasis is placed on a systems approach to problem-oriented research to develop environmental service tools. Assistance is also provided to resource managers and others who wish to apply the information, tools, and services developed.
