Lake Superior Research

Dr. Ted Ozersky, assistant professor of Biology, was featured on Fox 21 Local News. 

Dr. Ozersky partnered with his PhD student, Kirill Shchapov, and Dr. Andy Bramburger, a research associate with the Natural Resources Research Institute in Duluth. They met on the frozen Lake Superior to take a deep dive underneath the ice.

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Duluth are making breakthroughs in how we understand our frozen lakes in winter.

But sometimes there are more questions than answers.

“It’s harder to work in the winter,” explains Dr. Ted Ozersky, Assistant Professor of Biology at UMD. “Things freeze; it’s cold; it’s not as fun as hanging out in the summer on a boat.”

Dr. Ozersky also works for UMD’s Large Lakes Observatory, a consortium of faculty from different science departments.

He’s partnered with his PhD student, Kirill Shchapov and Dr. Andy Bramburger, a Research Associate with the National Resources Research Institute (NRRI) in Duluth.
