Winter is quickly approaching and GLOS is kicking off a new project to help improve regional ice predictive models. Currently, ice modelers have little to no information regarding ice thickness on the Lakes. GLOS will attempt to help fill this data gap with community assistance. On December 9th, GLOS will be hosting the project kickoff workshop at UW-Green Bay to share project details and gauge interest from the ice fishing community on sharing their ice thickness measurements.
The workshop will include short presentations from GLOS’ Science and Observations Manager Shelby Brunner and David Cannon of the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research, which will be followed by time for group feedback and discussion. Interested community members can volunteer to test the system, and may be eligible for stipends, upon providing data to GLOS.
If you ice fish on Green Bay, Lake Michigan or other parts of the Great Lakes, please consider attending!
