Overview
The University of Wisconsin Madison is recognized worldwide as a leader in the field of limnology and aquatic ecology. The Freshwater Marine Science Program began in 1962 as the oceanography and limnology program. The program combines research and teaching from several fields and departments to develop a greater understanding of aquatic systems—their origins, inhabitants, phenomena, and impact on human life.
The Freshwater Marine Science Program emphasizes limnological studies and is based on the premise that limnology and marine sciences are integrated fields requiring a broad base in the fundamental disciplines. Students may specialize in limnology or in marine sciences, or they may focus on processes common to both environments.
