This AVHRR image shows heavy ice cover on the Great Lakes. Synoptic views such as these provide rapid assessment of ice thickness and texture, which in turn provide crucial information for predicting shoreline erosion, impacts on the shipping industry, and lake effect snows.

The Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences Institute (EPSSI) facilitates and promotes research and education in interdisciplinary areas spanning Earth and its ecosystems to the reaches of intergalactic space. Twenty faculty, representing seven different departments, are members of EPSSI. EPSSI oversees the interdisciplinary, non-departmental PhD program in Atmospheric Science as well as the University minor in Remote Sensing.
EPSSI's goals are to work by consensus to promote Earth, planetary and space sciences at Michigan Tech through (1) interdisciplinary coursework and programs, (2) group funding efforts for equipment and research, and (3) interdisciplinary seminars and short courses.
EPSSI's previous incarnation was as the Remote Sensing Institute (RSI).
