Runoff from roads, lawns, farms and old septic tanks is polluting US waterways, driving harmful algae blooms.
PFAS pollutants ride rivers across the Midwest and Canada to get to the Great Lakes. But not in the way a pair of University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers studying the forever chemicals expected, and that could impact ...
As ice coverage across the Great Lakes falls from winter highs with spring and summer warming ahead, Lake Michigan is likely to end up with a just-below-average season.
The solar system has eight planets. In 2006, astronomers reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet, the same class that contains Eris, Sedna, Quaoar, Ceres and perhaps many more solar system small bodies. These are defined approximately ...

Most of the Great Lakes will remain above their long-term average water levels in the coming months but won't reach the record highs of recent years, Army Corps of Engineers hydrologists said in their latest forecast.
In the chemical industry, the selective cleavage and oxidation of carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bonds, called "oxidative C–H functionalization" is an essential step in the production of many solvents, polymers, and surfactants, as ...
What's happening in the Great Lakes during those long, frigid months when they're often covered partially or completely with ice? A casual observer—and even experts—might be inclined to say, "Not much."
