Great Lakes water levels have had extreme highs & lows over the last decade, creating pressure on the shoreline. #SeaGrantFunded researchers are working on coastline erosion management options: iiseagrant.org/lake-michigan… @PurdueCE @mturesearch @UWMadEngr

Let's try this again. Dramamine warning: this is what 3 foot-and-building waves look like from the #MichiganCityBuoy (45170). Captured May 28, 2021. cc @ILINSeaGrant @LimnoTech @RealGLOS @TroyLab_Purdue @PurdueFNR @PurdueCE @NWSIWX

Lake Superior & Lake Michigan-Huron remain near record-highs for this time of year, but are expected to continue their seasonal declines in December. Continued risk of shoreline erosion, flooding & coastal damages over the next several weeks and potentially through the winter.

Today’s field work is dedicated to MicroCTD shear probe M1668. Almost 1000 microstructure profiles over more than a dozen campaigns....a true inspiration. I’m sorry I hurt you so bad... @RSI_Turbulence @PurdueCE @TroyLab_Purdue

This morning we’re on #LakeMichigan collecting even more turbulence data. One day I’ll have to start writing my thesis, but today feels more like a PIV and microstructure day....

This week we’re studying mixing at the thermocline-shelf intersection. After a full day of assembly, we’re finally ready to deploy. Can’t wait to get out on the water!

From record lows to record highs, water levels across the lake have increased by almost 6 feet since 2013. That's a lot of public beach loss! @SleepingBearNPS @IndianaDunesNPS

This week's @PurdueCE Hydraulics and Hydrology seminar was presented by Prof. Phanikumar Mantha from Michigan State University on Near Water Quality in the Great Lakes Region. Interesting findings on the role of groundwater in nearshore pollutant dynamics.

We stopped trying to make fetch happen with this second #HowBuoysHelp pic. Thermoclines! If you're asking "What's a thermocline?", learn more here! Thanks to @TroyLab_Purdue for their help with these. #Lakes #fishing #YAY

Some buoys measure water #temperature from the surface to the lake bottom. How is that information used? Learn here! iiseagrant.org/buoys/how-buo… (In case you're not a scientist and don't use Celsius, 25°C = 77°F.) #HowBuoysHelp
