Michigan Tech Scientist and Students Collaborate in First Great Lakes Winter Grab
A Michigan Tech team led by Trista Vick-Majors (BioSci/GLRC) is collecting samples in the Keweenaw Waterway and from Keweenaw Bay near Baraga as part of the Great Lakes region’s first Winter Grab, designed to fill a scientific sampling gap by examining the lakes in winter.
Vick-Majors’ team, which will also serve as the hub for receiving and analyzing bacterial samples from around the lakes, is layering this data on the group’s nearly two-year record of under-ice data on microbial communities and carbon cycling in the Keweenaw Waterway.
