Suburban Chicago has greater tree canopy inequity than the city, study finds

Suburban Chicago has greater tree canopy inequity than the city, study finds
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.

Shifting sand is natural to Michigan’s dunes; how to cope is controversial

Shifting sand is natural to Michigan’s dunes; how to cope is controversial
Great Lakes Echo
By Olivia O’Neill Great Lakes sand dunes, especially those on the Lake Michigan shoreline, are threatened by erosion and fluctuating water levels, but there’s disagreement on alternative approaches to effectively address the problems.

Century-long data reveals complex trends in ice cover in the Great Lakes

Century-long data reveals complex trends in ice cover in the Great Lakes
Great Lakes Echo
By Kyrmyzy Turebayeva A new study reported 125 years of historical air temperature and ice data on the Great Lakes for the first time and showed the amount of ice on the lakes has declined rapidly over the past four decades.
