Data and research from NTL LTER are routinely used in classrooms at UW-Madison and beyond, reaching approximately 1,200 students per year. Activities include acquiring and analyzing long term datasets in undergraduate limnology classes and performing time series analysis and biogeochemical modeling in graduate seminars.
