The Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute Annual Report, October 2006 - October 2007

The Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute was established to pursue research efforts in marine transportation, logistics, economics, engineering, environmental planning, and port management. The consortium also draws on expertise in a wide range of other areas through affiliations with other Great Lakes universities. This is the second year of funded support. The research agenda was extended to fund nine major projects, while two universities joined GLMRI as affiliate universities. This report details the nine projects while discussing meetings, outreach and education, and other efforts undertaken in support of the mission. The nine projects are as follows: Hydrodynamic Optimization Testing of Ballast-Free Ship Design; Expanding Regional Freight Information Resources for the Upper Midwest Phase II: Implementation of the Great lakes Maritime Information Delivery System; A Review of Great Lakes Shipbuilding and Repair Capability: Past, Present and Future; The Effect of Long-Term Cold Storage on Biodiesel Blends; Structure of Bacterial Communities Associated with Accelerated Corrosive Loss of Port Transportation Infrastructure; Building Sustainable Solutions to the Issue of Ballast Water Treatment: Testing Relationships between Propagule Pressure and Colonization Success of Invasive Species; Multibeam Bathymetry Survey of the Duluth-Superior Harbor; Great Lakes Maritime Transportation K-12 Education Program for Teachers, Students, and Communities (Year 2); and Environmental Effects of Marine Transportation: Develop an Environmental Management System Model.
