Partners

Since 2016, the Great Lakes Alliance for Remote Sensing (GLARS) binational team has been building a comprehensive, collaborative and integrated remote sensing program for the Great Lakes System. GLARS partners work to harness the power of high resolution remote sensing to provide vegetation, hydrology, and elevation data products based on the reported needs of wetland managers.

This partnership is sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)*, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. For more information on the individual partners check out their individual partnership page.
