The research of Water Institute member Grant Gunn, Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Management was recently highlighted in a Michigan State University Today article entitled "Oil flow beneath ice in the Great Lakes."
The team’s research is looking at how to protect the Great Lakes from oil spills that could potentially take place during months when ice covers the water.
They are also examining public opinion about oil spills during the winter season and trying to understand how oil spreads under the ice as it meets with the ice underbelly, intending to develop best practices and policies for remediation of under-ice oil spills.
