School of Freshwater Sciences

The only school of higher education in North America dedicated solely to freshwater sciences, the UWM School of Freshwater Sciences offers a wide range of research experiences, internships and fellowships in the water technology industry, public policy organizations, and federal and state government.

The school focuses on advancing knowledge of freshwater systems and their management through basic and applied research; educating future scientists, technicians, teachers, policy specialists and the public; and growing appreciation of natural and constructed aquatic systems in the community. SFS is dedicated to four essential integrated themes:

• Ecosystem dynamics of freshwater systems, including invasive species, fisheries and nutrients.
• The role of fresh water in human and ecosystem health.
• Freshwater policy, economics and management.
• Water, weather and climate.
