Water: Wisconsin lakes, streams and wetlands

Citation:

Hoffman, J. Water: Wisconsin lakes, streams and wetlands. Presented at Water: Wisconsin lakes, streams and wetlands, November 14, 2012.

Impact/Purpose:

not applicable

Description:

Wisconsin has a tremendous diversity of aquatic habitat: headwater streams, large rivers, inland lakes, and two Great Lakes. Knowing the fundamentals of aquatic ecosystem science is critical to understand how these ecosystems function and to predict how they will respond to human-caused changes. In this talk, we will cover fundamental concepts in the physics and chemistry of lakes, streams, and Great Lakes coastal wetlands. We will also discuss how these concepts help us perceive and understand the ways in which these ecosystems respond to disturbance and to climate change.
