Researching ecology under the ice in Minnesota

UMD PhD Student Alia Benedict works in Assistant Professor Ted Ozersky’s lab at the Large Lakes Observatory (LLO). One research focus of the lab is to fill a current gap in knowledge of Minnesota’s lakes during the winter. Working towards that, Benedict and Undergraduate Biology Student Drew Check visited Pike Lake during a sub-zero day in January to sample water and zooplankton and add to the lab’s collection of data.
