The National Science Foundation video series, Science Nation, is featuring the work of Large Lakes Observatory (LLO) scientists Steve Colman, professor of geological sciences and LLO director; Jay Austin, associate professor of physics; Tom Johnson, Regents Professor of geological sciences; and Doug Ricketts, Marine Superintendent and adjunct assistant professor of geological sciences.
LLO is constantly discovering new and important research about large lakes, from microbes and other forms of life to large-scale reactions to climate change. LLO’s work is to better understand the biology, chemistry, physics, and geology of these bodies of water in order to preserve and protect them.
