Trout Lake Research Station

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.

Swans may not be the most important factor in the decline of wild rice, but there is no doubt that the number of swans has increased on our Northwoods lakes. How did this happen?

According to researchers from Trout Lake Station, the difference in ice off dates from one year to the next has become more extreme in the past ten years. That has consequences for lake ecosystems.

Where has all of the wild rice gone? Researchers seek clues for the drastic drop in crop acreage over the last several years.
