Our Projects
The Burke Center's work encompasses a wide range of interdisciplinary research focusing on the Lake Superior watershed, the inland lake country of Northwest Wisconsin, and beyond. Our team of experts is dedicated to advancing our knowledge of freshwater and terrestrial environments and developing innovative solutions to ensure the long-term sustainability of these vital ecosystems.
Research
Nearshore areas throughout the Laurentian Great Lakes are among the most socioeconomically important, ecologically significant, and least understood of all freshwater ecosystems.
Our work focuses on the study of Chequamegon Bay, the Apostle Islands archipelago, and other nearshore areas of Lake Superior to characterize the fundamental environmental processes that shape these critical ecosystems.
