At the world’s freshwater laboratory, we’re always expanding the limits of how we work in order to build the most accurate picture of the health of our freshwater lakes.
And this means introducing newer, more effective, and more efficient ways of understanding what’s happening in our lakes.
These can range from ensuring that we sacrifice as few fish as possible when sampling and processing them to monitoring lakes in real-time from the comfort of our own desks.
Below, discover some of the innovative methods that we have developed, or championed, at the world’s freshwater laboratory in order to more accurately understand where the health of our freshwater supplies are headed—and how best to take action.
