A Review of Graduate Programs in the “Environmental Sector” in Canada. This review of graduate programs in the environmental sector was undertaken to examine the distribution and characteristics of training in Canada. Three categories of Environmental Graduate Programs were distinguished: (1) Environmental Science programs, which are science based and integrate natural, physical and social sciences; (2) Environmental Studies Programs, which are humanities based; and (3) Discipline-based programs, which examine environmental issues within a single disciplinary perspective. Currently, there are ~63 Masters and ~27 PhD programs in the environmental sector in Canada. Only 13 of these programs (9 Masters and 4 PhD programs) are defined as Environmental Science. The Province of Ontario offers about half the graduate programs in the environmental sector, although only 4 Masters and 3 PhD programs can be classified as Environmental Science. Given this data set, the fact that there has been continued growth in the environmental employment sector, and the needs for significant increases in training as identified by governments, it is evident that more graduate training programs in Environmental Science are needed. Graduates of such programs should possess the integrative and interdisciplinary skills needed to understand how environments function and how to deal with environmental perturbations.

Nearshore monitoring is an important factor in assessing the ecosystem health of the Great Lakes, but it often presents a challenge due to the limited availability of research vessels and difficulty in surveying the extensive (>10,000 miles) shoreline. The U.S. EPA Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) deploys a TRIAXUS 3D towed undulating vehicle from the R/V Lake Guardian in all five Great Lakes in waters as shallow as 20m to gain more insight into nearshore water quality and habitat characteristics. This state of the art towed instrument platform provides real-time multiparameter profile data of the nearshore water column over a large shoreline distance as well as supplements the GLNPO open water surveys. Details of the TRIAXUS specifications, the various sensors it houses, sampling locations, and preliminary results will be presented. Keywords: Monitoring, Nearshore, Habitats, Water quality.

Mapping the Huron River is a video recording from a multimedia performance done as collaboration among artists and scientists on the cycle of water and the relationship of water and culture. The project was implemented as part of Art on Earth, a program intended to bring together science and art across University of Michigan academic units. During 2008 the program 1 Abstracts of the 52nd Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research, May 18-22, Toledo, OH was oriented to Arts and the Environment and promoted projects around the four elements as themes. “Mapping the Huron River” was conceived by the water group as an environmental education outreach piece. The performance includes videography, poetry, dance, acting, music, photography and painting within a scientific context. It takes the audience into an immersive experience: from rain replenishing the ground water at the Huron River headwaters to downstream towards Lake Erie, the Atlantic Ocean and back into rain. The piece describes the river journey from pristine to less desirable conditions as water flows through urban areas through images, sound and spoken words. A start celebrating nature ends on a dark note on the extermination of native freshwater mussels in segments of the rivers within the University of Michigan campus, and cautions about the consequences of unsustainable environmental practices.

Distribution of Sea Lamprey Larvae in Lower Michigan Peninsula Tributaries Based on Habitat. We developed models by stream and basin to understand distributions of sea lamprey larvae in 29 Michigan and 20 Huron tributaries. We used modern regression to model densities of young-of-the-year, age one and older larvae from 1999 to 2004 Quantitative Larval Assessment (QAS) and explanatory variables measured during QAS and taken from other databases or derived from models. About half of the stream-specific models explained more than 50% of the density variation; with best predictions for Michigan tributaries. Basin models explained 24 to 47%. Best predictors, accounting for years since lampricide treatment, were habitat type, valley segment hydrology, and distances to upstream spawning habitat and to the river mouth. Overall, densities were double in preferred than acceptable habitat and higher in groundwater than in runoff stream segments, were higher close to spawning habitat and varied with distance to the river mouth depending on the stream and larval size and decreased with depth. Our models help to understand larval distributions in Michigan and Huron tributaries where no QAS have been conducted, such as above impermeable dams. Since data available came from streams with high larval densities and often treated with lampricide, random samples are necessary for refining the analysis.

Interaction between Scientists and educators provides a platform to encourage critical thinking, translating the concepts learned into personal experiences and making science relevant to everyday life. Scientists and educators work together to customize and scale classroom learning experiences to be integrated with authentic research cruises on Lake Michigan providing experiential learning. The tools used are bucket to ROV on the other end of technology. Educator familiarity with methods, analysis and results, and dissemination of environmental research must be elevated to a significantly higher level than it is today.

    “THE BEST FORM OF ASSISTANCE ALWAYS IS THE KIND THAT ENABLES FOLKS TO HELP THEMSELVES”: PUBLIC REACTION TO THE NEW DEAL IN HANCOCK, SENECA, AND WOOD COUNTIES OF OHIO Anthony J. Bolton A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor Michael Brooks © 2021 Anthony J. Bolton All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor The Great Depression and New Deal had a profound impact on the United States. It led to the need for fundamental changes in the nation, especially regarding the federal government’s role and size. The beginning of the Great Depression marked the end of the “New Era” that the United States had experienced in the 1920s. However, one group of Americans—farmers—did not participate in this “New Era,” including those in three Northwestern Ohio counties: Hancock, Seneca, and Wood. This study analyzes through voting and media analysis how these three counties reacted to the Great Depression and the New Deal from 1929 to 1936. As the Depression continued to worsen, their suffering continued and even worsened, and with Herbert Hoover’s inability to provide relief or a path to recovery, these counties and the rest of the nation turned to Franklin Roosevelt and his promise of a “new deal” to provide that relief. Within these counties, the New Deal was initially seen as successful; however, it was soon seen as having a corrosive effect on traditional American values. Because of this, these counties rejected Roosevelt and the New Deal in 1936, while the rest of the nation overwhelmingly supported him.

Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

Hunt¶, Rhiannon Stevens**, Marta Fiacconi¶, David Beresford-Jones‡ and Paul F. Karrow†† We present a multi-proxy study of environmental conditions during and after the recessional phases of pro-glacial Lake Algonquin in the vicinity of the North Bay outlet, Great Lakes Basin. Data presented comes from a new sedimentary profile obtained from the Balsam Creek kettle lakec . 34 km north-east of the city of North Bay. This site lies close to the north-east margin of the maximum extent of the post-Algonquin lake sequence, which drained through the Ottawa-Mattawa valley system. Our data are presented against a Bayesian age-depth model, supporting and extending regional understanding of vegetation succession in this part of north-east Ontario. The core profile provides a minimum age for the formation of the glacial outwash delta in which the kettle is set, as well as tentative timing for the Payette (post-Algonquin) lake phase. We highlight two discrete intervals during the Early Holocene, with modelled mean ages of: 8475–8040 cal. BP (332–316 cm) and 7645 cal.

Lake Duluth is identified by a series of discontinuous strandlines observed throughout the western portion of the lake basin. Two prominent outlets have long been recognized, the Portage outlet in Minnesota, which drained southward along the Kettle channel, and the Brule outlet in Wisconsin, which drained along the St. Croix channel. However, the relative role of each outlet in the drainage of the lake has never been adequately explained. The Brule and Portage outlets formed early during ice retreat and they drained small ice marginal lakes. Further ice retreat allowed the small lakes to coalesce forming Lake Duluth. Because of isostatic tilting, the Lake Duluth strandlines rise about 0.5 meters per kilometer eastward between the Portage and Brule outlets from 323 m to 335 m.
