We participate in a number of partnerships. Here are two examples:
GLISA: Accounting for 84% of North America's surface freshwater, the Great Lakes are a unique and important ecosystem. To better assess the effects of climate change in this critically important region, we have partnered with Michigan State University and The Ohio State University to establish the Great Lakes Integrated Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessment Center (GLISA). With funding from NOAA, GLISA aims to contribute to the long-term sustainability of the region in the face of a changing climate by improving the utility of scientific knowledge to decision making.
