: News » Interdisciplinary‘The Arctic You Can Drive To’: GLRC Hosts Successful Winter Field Tests of Arctic Power Station
In February, Michigan Technological University's Great Lakes Research Center hosted marine technology startup company Seatrec, providing a test site for its prototype Arctic Power Station — a novel thermal energy harvesting system designed for the Arctic environment. The largest and deepest of the Great Lakes, Lake Superior is a scientific gateway to the Arctic. With its vast, frigid waters, powerful storms, and seasonal ice cover, Superior mirrors some of the extreme conditions of the far north. Michigan Technological University's proximity to Lake Superior is a distinct research advantage, making it a natural test bed for Arctic research. The GLRC's Frozen Marine Testbed is a cost-effective place for companies and organizations to deploy and validate their technology before testing in remote Arctic regions.
