Houghton, Mich. (AP) – Michigan Technological University plans to dedicate a $25 million research facility this week to address pressing Great Lakes issues.
A dedication is planned for Thursday at the facility in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Issues on the center's plate range from invasive species to climate change on the Great Lakes, including Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.
The center includes laboratories, aquatic labs, a computer center, underwater robots and a dock for the center's 37-foot research vessel, the Agassiz.
