30 Summer research students hosted a flash talk and poster session to share what they found after summer of mentored research. Students presented 1-minute flash talks, which when combined, illuminated an incredible cross-section of water research across the state of Wisconsin. Their posters highlighted research on lakes, rivers and wetlands, including topics related to emerging contaminants, hydroecology and groundwater dynamics, ecology, history, and wildlife biology.
