Earth’s freshwater ecosystems are threatened by climate change, declining fisheries, invasive species, pollution, and more. Protecting and conserving this vital resource requires cutting-edge science and investment in the next generation of researchers and leaders.
How your gifts make an impact
Across Wisconsin and the world, we conduct research that endeavors to understand changes to our environment, find solutions to these important problems, and help confront these challenges head on. Support from donors like you helps keep the Center for Limnology positioned as a global leader in freshwater science. The tradition of world-class research in limnology began right here at UW–Madison in 1875, and that tradition continues today at the Hasler Lab in Madison and Trout Lake Station in Vilas County.
Why we need your support
Your support helps us conduct crucially important science as well as train the next generation of researchers, educators, and leaders. It also allows us to share what we learn with the public, elected officials, and resource managers to innovate solutions to the problems facing our freshwater resources.
Gifts made in support of the Center for Limnology will be contributed to Center for Limnology Endowment Fund at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
