It’s been incredibly cold this week, but our group has been staying warm! Our sampling for February is officially complete and we’re looking forward to March

How many lab members does it take to pull up one of our moorings? The answer may shock you. We had a fun Friday trip to service some of our sensors today!

Our team has been busy setting up and deploying sensor moorings this past week! And busy enjoying the sunset too 🌅

Large Lakes Observatory’s first annual Freshwater Discovery Day was a blast and a half! Thank you to everyone who came out for a fun day of science, and thank you to our lab members who volunteered at the event @DrewCheck @aliaunderwater @OkoboshiA

A team that trailers together stays together

Our first sampling trip for WLN was a success! Three lakes down, many more to go ☀️

Meet Drew! @DrewCheck is a new lab tech joining our NSF-funded project on winter limnology. Drew graduated from UMD and is interested in Arctic ecology. She's excited to fill in gaps in winter limnology and hopes to continue her work in Arctic locations around the world!

Meet our team! Anthony Okoboshi is a first year PhD student researching seasonal shifts in lake biogeochemistry. He is interested in the seasonal function of lakes, streams, and rivers.

Show as ya go! Last week, Bio Lim Lab wundergrad Drew Check and MS student Levi Feucht presented preliminary data on the seasonal eating habits of MN game fish. Both are seeing seasonal shifts in diet and lipid stores across species. 🐟
