Hilary Dugan is an associate professor at the Center for Limnology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As a limnologist, Hilary studies how terrestrial and atmospheric changes such as warming air temperatures or land-use patterns impact the chemistry and biology of lakes. Her research balances field-based programs, which rely heavily on sensor networks, with the use and development of analytical models and the application of geophysical and geospatial tools. Her research focus is on temperate and polar lakes, with research sites spanning from Wisconsin to Antarctica.
