Limnology is the study of inland waters. Itâ??s like the fresh-water version of oceanography.
Iâ??m in charge of the boat fleet for the Hasler Laboratory of Limnology on Lake Mendota, on the UW-Madison campus. The fleet includes a 25-foot research boat, Boston whalers, trailer boats, canoes and electro-fishing boats. The boats are provided to anyone on campus who needs a boat for research.
