Description:

Smart technologies including wireless sensor networks, edge computing, and machine learning show great promise for improving our ability to observe and predict the behavior of the Great Lakes. Distributed, real-time data collection will dramatically increase the amount of information on the Great Lakes, and broad data sharing can facilitate coordination to address shared challenges – including assessing the effects of climate change, managing infrastructure and transportation systems, and responding to immediate hazards such as extreme weather events.  This panel discussion will address the needs, challenges and benefits of implementing the Common Strategy for Smart Great Lakes, which will be released by the Smart Great Lakes Initiative on October 1st. Panelists will discuss data collection and sharing in the context of Great Lakes climate change, water levels, ecosystems, algal blooms, and flooding. Perspectives will be provided on needs and benefits for Great Lakes cites and Indigenous communities.
