Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessments
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessments Center (GLISA) is a collaboration of the University of Michigan and Michigan State University funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). GLISA (pronounced Glee-suh) is part of a national network of NOAA Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) centers that focus on adaptation to climate change and variability. GLISA is the NOAA RISA for the Great Lakes region.[1][2]
GLISA integrates information from several scientific fields, develops collaborations between entities with similar goals, and informs decision makers throughout the region with scientific information. GLISA's goals are to build climate literacy, encourage long-term sustainability, and facilitate smart decision making throughout the Great Lakes region.[3]
