2019 Posters On Ice

Water@UW-Madison hosted the first “Posters on Ice” session at the Clean Lakes Alliance Frozen Assets Festival on Saturday, February 2, 2019. A total of eight groups representing 11 departments, programs, and organizations braved slush and cold, wet feet to share their water projects with the broader Madison community on a frozen Lake Mendota. After a week of snow and extreme cold as bitter as -48F with the wind chill, Madisonians responded to Saturday’s sun and 30F temperatures by turning out to the winter festival in droves. Response to the experimental event was very positive, with multiple visitors thanking us for bring science to the public in this unusual and eye-catching display.
