| Description: | "The University of Wisconsin-Madison is recognized worldwide as a leader in the field of limnology and aquatic ecology. The Limnology and Marine Science Program was begun in 1962 as the Oceanography and Limnology Graduate Program. It combines research and teaching from several fields and assists departments to develop a greater understanding of aquatic systems - their origins, inhabitants, phenomena, and impact on human life. Located on Lake Mendota, the graduate program emphasizes limnological studies and is based on the premise that limnology and oceanography are integrated fields requiring a broad base in the fundamental disciplines. Students may specialize in limnology or in oceanography, or they may focus on processes common to both environments. The program is administered by the College of Engineering and sponsored jointly with the College of Letters and Science. Interdisciplinary in nature, each individualized program of study provides graduate training in aquatic sciences and integrates related sciences. Faculty members in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Botany, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Environmental Chemistry and Technology, Food Science, Geology and Geophysics, and Zoology supervise graduate student activities in the program. |
