Description: The Smart Great Lakes Initiative exists to modernize an information ecosystem based on Great Lakes environmental data.
Great Lakes Observation System
Sensors have been deployed across our lives and environments, artificial intelligence has become widely accessible, and our ability to analyze and act on that data has grown exponentially.
But many of the tools available to us today have yet to be applied to the Great Lakes with the full weight of the region’s collaborative spirit behind them. These technologies present a unique opportunity for addressing today’s Great Lakes challenges like never before, from safeguarding drinking water and understanding changing shorelines to tracking the long-term effects of climate change.
