2 – Welcome to Limnology Laboratory! September 4
– Bring raingear to lab today. We will go out on the lake in the rain,
unless there are thunderstorms. The Web of
Science database can be found at the link below. This database should be used
to find articles for assignment #1. http://apps.isiknowledge.com.ezproxy.library.wisc.edu/WOS_GeneralSearch_input.do?product=WOS&search_mode=GeneralSearch&SID=3CgeNAE39ABa4GA6o5O&preferencesSaved= September 8
– Prepare for Lab 3 in your lab manual, pH, acid neutralizing capacity and conductivity, this week. We
will do the dissolved oxygen lab,
Lab 2 in your manual, next week. October 6
– This week in lab you will be performing some statistical analyses
using the 2007 Multi Lake dataset using the statistics program R. Here are
