U-M is a major convener of Great Lakes research thanks to its interdisciplinary efforts to address climate change and other problems. SEAS is a microcosm of that work because of its Great Lakes research centers and institutes; collaborations with other U-M units; and expansive partnerships with organizations within Ann Arbor, the region, and spanning the U.S., Canada and other countries. What this means, according to SEAS Dean Jonathan Overpeck, is that U-M is well-positioned to be “The Great Lakes University.”
Ayumi Fujisaki-Manome is an associate research scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research, which is hosted by SEAS. Her research uses geophysical modeling to address the impacts of interactions between ice, oceans and lakes on larger-scale phenomena, such as weather, storm surges and sea/lake ice melting.
