HOUGHTON, MI (AP)-- Michigan State University and Michigan Technological University are getting grant money to support research into the effects of extreme weather on water and air quality.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Monday announced that Michigan State University will get $750,000 to quantify the relationship between extreme weather events and harmful algal blooms and to predict the effects of climate change on algal blooms and water quality.
Michigan Tech was awarded a nearly $375,000 grant to research projected changes in weather such as heat waves, lightning and lightning-caused wildfires, and their impact on air quality.
