Date and Time

Description
Speaker: Mark Luttenton, Grand Valley State University, Annis Water Resources Institute
Join Dr. Mark Luttenton from GVSU for a deep dive into the ecology of the Great Lakes. When Europeans first arrived, the Great Lakes ecosystem had been evolving into a diverse and stable ecosystem. Europeans viewed this as an economic opportunity and began to exploit the resources of the region. Dr. Luttenton will provide an ecological overview of the Great Lakes from the time they took shape to how they function today.
