Information About

Limnology

Limnology (from Greek: Λίμνη ''limne'', "lake"; and λόγος, ''logos'', "knowledge") is the study of inland waters (fresh), including their Biological , Physical , Chemical , Geological and Hydrological aspects. This includes the study of (natural and man-made) Lake s and Pond s, River s and Stream s, Wetland s and Groundwater s.

François-Alphonse Forel (1841-1912) established the field with his studies of Lake Geneva . Limnology traditionally is closely related to Hydrobiology , which is concerned with the application of the principles and methods of physics, chemistry, Geology , and Geography to Ecological problems.

RESOURCES

The History of Limnology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison : A digital resource documenting three generations of limnological research in Wisconsin. Much of the collection comes from the archives of the UW-Madison Center for Limnology. It focuses on three important pioneers of limnology, Dr. Edward A. Birge , Chancey Juday and Arthur D. Hasler, as well as Wisconsin research laboratories and field equipment. Presented by the University of Wisconsin Digital Collections Center.

Breaking new waters: a Century of Limnology at the University of Wisconsin : A special publication of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters in celebration of a century of limnological research.
