On March 19-20, 2015, EPA hosted a Lake Superior Environmental Monitoring Collaborative meeting in Houghton, Michigan at Michigan Tech. Seventeen academic researchers made presentations describing their environmental monitoring work in the Lake Superior Basin. After the presentations, representatives of federal, state and tribal agencies continued discussions about their joint efforts to develop an online catalogue to expand access to environmental monitoring data.
