Sea Grant Illinois-Indiana
With a warning from the United Nations concerning a warming world, Chicago Tonight covered the topic with a local perspective from Tomas Höök, professor at Purdue University and director of Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant, and Elena Grossman, program manager of Building Resistance Against Climate Effects at University of Illinois. The story and video are available through WTTW’s What Global Warming Could Mean for Lake Michigan.
On November 2nd, a group of 9 Illinois and Indiana educators joined IISG and @Openlands to explore the incredible history of enslaved people`s use of the Great Lakes and environmental science in their quest for freedom. These educators received curriculum resources related to local areas of IL and participated in a field trip to the African American Heritage Water Trail and the Ton Farm, the former safe house site which is now the home of Chicago`s Finest Marina.
