Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco visited the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab in Ann Arbor last Tuesday afternoon to discuss Great Lakes science and collaborations with CILER and federal staff.  That evening, several University of Michigan campus partners co-hosted a reception for Dr. Lubchenco, including CILER, the School of Natural Resources and Environment (SNRE), Michigan Sea Grant, the Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute, and the Great Lakes Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments Center. 

Last week, CILER Director Allen Burton presented to NOAA’s Science Advisory Board – a group of scientists that assesses and directs NOAA’s research path.

The presentation, called Announcing CILER XXII: An Essential NOAA App, recognized the crucial role that 22-year old CILER plays in helping NOAA reach its research goals. Burton highlighted that CILER’s host, University of Michigan, has invested more than $28 million into 44 NOAA projects. Since 2007 alone, CILER has contributed more than $17 million.
