Canada Research Chair Dr. Maggie Xenopoulos Shares Insight into Dwindling Ice in Great Lakes| The Globe and Mail 

In an article for the Globe and Mail, Professor Maggie Xenopoulos speaks about how dwindling ice cover in the Great Lakes is affecting research into its implications for the region. Typically, ice concentrations on the Great Lakes are at their highest in mid-February, but as of early February, the combined ice cover was only at 13%, which is less than one-third of the long-term average. Researchers predict that if the decline in ice cover continues, it will have significant consequences for the entire region, including impacts on drinking water quality, extreme weather events, and fish populations.
