🧊 What can 125 yrs of #GreatLakes ice data tell us? New research led by #CIGLR's David Cannon & former fellow Elleanna Viere finds natural climate cycles could bring a temporary increase in ice cover over the next decade. 📄 Study: www.nature.com/articles/s43... 👀 news.umich.edu/while-great-...

While Great Lakes ice cover is slipping, a 'temporary respite' may be on the way

There's good news and bad news for folks who love a good coat of ice on the Great Lakes for the activities and businesses it supports.
