Research efforts hitting stride at Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve

?Our research program is still growing,? said Shon Schooler, research coordinator for the Lake Superior NERR. ?We have a couple of graduate students at work, and groups from University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities. Also, a United States Geological Survey researcher is in the middle of his project. Next year there will be these projects plus more starting. I think we?ll have about 10 projects going in any given year from external researchers. And we haven?t really started our own projects yet because we?re still putting in monitoring systems to create baseline data.?
