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's goals are to build climate literacy, encourage long-term sustainability, and facilitate smart decision making throughout the Great Lakes region.
Global Change Research Program, GLISA formed a Midwest regional team to provide a technical input report to the National Climate Assessment.
A series of peer-reviewed documents comprised the chapters of the report, each focusing on the potential impacts, vulnerabilities, and adaptation options to climate variability and change in a different sector.
