(Sault Ste Marie, MI) - A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Wednesday afternoon for the Great Lakes Center for Expertise at Lake Superior State University. Legislation authored by U-S Senator Gary Peters created the center in 2018. It was designed to examine the impacts of oil spills in freshwater environments and help develop effective responses. Current oil spill response technologies are primarily designed for saltwater environments.
L-S-S-U will serve as the hub of the Great Lakes Center of Expertise and home to its supervisor… while the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor will serve as a second location.
