Research Affiliates

The Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey has enjoyed and supported a variety of collaborative research relationships with a large number of professional colleagues in universities and local, county, state, and federal agencies and organizations. These individuals may work directly with WGNHS staff on internally funded projects, as co-investigators on outside-funded grants and contracts, or independently on projects that complement or supplement existing WGNHS programs and priorities. In recognition of these beneficial and productive relationships, we have created the honorary title of Research Affiliate.
