| Abstract | In this project the source of methane from the North American Great lakes to the atmosphere will be estimated. Three ship excursions into all five lakes are planned. Methane levels and physical and biological properties will be measured in the surface water. These data will be combined with earlier measurements to capture water-to-air methane transfer from the whole Great Lakes system. Machine Learning will be used to predict methane fluxes from physical and biological properties, many of which |
