The UW Trout Lake Research Station in Vilas County is a center for studying the state’s lakes.

There are many kinds of record keeping that scientists use to recapture recent and ancient history

Aquatic Invasive Species are some of the greatest threats to lake health in the Northwoods.Once an invasive establishes itself in a water body, it can cost thousands of dollars to remove it, if removing it is even possible at all.Rusty crayfish has been one such invasive species.First introduced to Trout Lake in Vilas County in the late 70s and 80s, the crayfish quickly settled in with population estimates in the thousands by the late 2000s.But now it seems nature is correcting course.

Many people often split the sciences and arts as using two different halves of their brains.But a group of scientists and artists working in Vilas County argue there’s a lot of overlap between the two disciplines.

The Northwoods is home to two University of Wisconsin Field Stations.The work being done at them is the focus of this week’s Science on Tap Minocqua.

In this month's installment of Field Notes, Trout Lake Station’s Gretchen Gerrish takes us to Florida with a lesson about marine field research.

Scientists have found that art can be a powerful way to connect with people about their research.That idea is the principle behind the artist-in-residence program at UW’s Trout Lake Station in Vilas County.

If you walk barefoot in a lake or stream, your feet might slide on slippery stones. What makes them so slippery? In this month’s installment of Field Notes, Trout Lake Station’s Gretchen Gerrish takes us underwater to learn about life on rocks.
