Located near the headwaters of the Mississippi River, Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories is a pristine living laboratory of lakes, bogs, springs, and forests with biodiversity that puts it as close to a tropical rain forest as we get in Minnesota.
Today, students go to Itasca to get their feet wet as tomorrow’s researchers. Moreover, research now underway at the field station such as the Minnesota Mississippi Metagenome Project reflects advances in ecology driven by molecular biology, genomics, remote sensing and computational biology.
