  • Research Interests and Activities:
    Thomas C. Winter has conducted studies for more than 20 years at field sites in New Hampshire (Mirror Lake), Minnesota (Williams Lake), North Dakota (Cottonwood Lake), and Nebraska (Island Lake). His research interests are with hydrology of lakes and wetlands, with special attention to their interaction with groundwater and evaporation.
