В Национальном музее Великих озер открылась выставка о технологиях мониторинга водоемов

The National Museum of the Great Lakes (NMGL) invites visitors to discover the technology and data networks that help scientists, mariners and communities better understand the Great Lakes through its newest temporary micro-exhibit, “From Buoys to Boaters and Beachgoers.” Presented in partnership with the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS), the exhibit offers an inside look at the observation and information network that monitors the Great Lakes and connecting waterways. Visitors will learn how hundreds of observing platforms—including buoys, weather stations, and water quality sensors—collect real-time data that supports research, forecasting, navigation, recreation, and environmental stewardship across the region.“Many people benefit from Great Lakes monitoring systems every day without realizing it,” said Carrie Sowden, NMGL director of archaeology and research. “This exhibit highlights the technology and collaboration that help us better understand and protect one of the world’s largest freshwater resources.” The micro-exhibit is included with regular museum admission and will be available during regular museum hours from July 3 through Aug. 31.
