Lake Winnipeg Research Consortium Science Program

The LWRC’s Science Program coordinates whole lake scientific
research and monitoring on Lake Winnipeg to gain a better
understanding of ecological processes and how they are changing
over time, and to support lake and watershed management decision
making.

Currently, the Science Program offers science support and
infrastructure in the form of:

- Two research vessels, Motor Vessel (M/V) NAMAO and M/V FYLGJA;
- A network of 65 sampling stations, which includes offshore, nearshore, river mouths, and outflows;
- Three whole lake surveys during the open water season (spring, summer, fall), each of which includes access to the established network of stations;
- Lake access for Special Projects, upon request; and
- A Scholarship to honours and graduate students.

LWRC的科学项目协调对温尼伯湖的整个湖泊科学研究与监测，旨在更深入地理解生态过程及其随时间的变化，并支持湖泊和水域管理决策的制定。
目前，科学项目以以下形式提供科学支持和基础设施：
- 两艘研究船，分别为机动船NAMAO和FYLGJA；
- 一个由65个采样站组成的网络，包括离岸、近岸、河口和出水口；
- 在开放水域季节（春季、夏季、秋季）进行三次整个湖泊的调查，每次调查均包括对已建立的网络站点的访问；
- 根据请求提供对湖泊的特殊项目访问；
- 为荣誉和研究生提供的奖学金。
