Penn State Erie partners in Great Lakes surveillance research

Penn State Erie will partner in a research initiative to increase surveillance on the Great Lakes, as announced by the Center for eBusiness and Advanced Information Technology (eBizITPA) at a news conference. Robert Gray, assistant professor of engineering technology and director of the Center for Communication, Navigation and Information Systems, will oversee Penn State Erie's participation in the project. Through the efforts of Pennsylvania Senator Jane Earll, eBizITPA has received a $50,000 seed grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development to begin the first phase of the initiative, which could ultimately lead to an "information correlation center" in Erie that could serve as a data integration point for remote monitoring of surface movements on all parts of the Great Lakes.
