Great Lakes Echo
By Kyrmyzy Turebayeva Most Americans live in suburbs and beyond urban centers, but inequities in tree canopy distribution are primarily studied in major cities. However, a new study of the Chicago region found that the highest level of tree canopy inequity was in the suburbs.

How Downriver Detroit’s working communities fought for their region’s environment

How Downriver Detroit’s working communities fought for their region’s environment
Great Lakes Echo
By Kyrmyzy Turebayeva Downriver Detroit developed during the 20th century as an industrial region, but it was never just an industrial space. Alongside factories and working-class neighborhoods, there were wetlands, waterfront areas, nature preserves, farms and residential communities with different types of environments that shaped the region. This relationship lies at the heart of Lisa Fine’s new book, “Downriver Detroit: The Working Class, the Environment and the Bonds of Place.”

Great Lakes show signs of declining PFAS pollution
Great Lakes Echo
By Riley Wilson Rising levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination are prompting scientists to question whether the Great Lakes can safely sustain surrounding communities. A recent study shows signs of declining PFAS pollution in these waters using archived fish.
