More than a dozen crews from U.S. and Canadian universities and government agencies ventured onto the frozen Great Lakes last month in an effort to boost knowledge of what happens when they’re covered with ice.
Matt Sand, wetland field crew leader for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, saws into the frozen surface of Lake Huron’s Saginaw Bay on Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2022 in Standish, Mich.
They were members of more than a dozen crews from U.S. and Canadian universities and government agencies who ventured onto the frozen Great Lakes to gather samples and data. Lake scientists long have considered winter a season when aquatic activity slows. Most do their field studies at other times of year.
“You can’t take half the puzzle and figure out what it looks like. You have to put the whole thing together.” For the recent excursion onto the icy bay, Wheelock and Sand affixed cleats to their boots and lugged a sled and wheeled cart loaded with tools and supplies. Temperatures hovered around freezing but a driving wind and slushy rain made it seem much colder.
