Maddie Gaudette, an undergraduate junior in environment, sustainability and geography from the University of Minnesota Duluth, worked with Andrea Hicks at UW–Madison as a participant in the Freshwater@UW Summer Research Opportunities Program. Her personal connection to the importance of lake ice in Wisconsin made her summer research experience even more meaningful!
Funding for this program is provided by the Freshwater Collaborative of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Sea Grant, the UW Water Resources Institute and Water@UW-Madison.
