$1 million. That same year, the station’s team began collecting continuous data from Flathead Lake, measuring all aspects of the lake’s complex identity. By 1980, the research lab was intact and Stanford was the new ambitious director making a name for himself and his team in the scientific community. Offers from bigger universities and stations began rolling in, but Stanford never considered a change in scenery. elSer ready to lead flBS have a home by the Twisp River. “I know a lot about the Flathead River. I don’t know a lot about those rivers,” he says. “So I’ve got new rivers to explore while continuing to foster funding for FLBS and help with long-term conservation of the Flathead River-Lake ecosystem.” V James “Jim” Elser, an internationally renowned freshwater ecologist, will become the seventh director of UM’s century-old Flathead Lake Biological Station. Elser, a lake ecologist who serves as a Regents Professor at Arizona State University, was selected for the position after an extensive international search. “(FLBS) is really well-known in my field of limnology as an amazing place to work and study,” Elser says. “I was drawn to the position by that reputation, including the terrific research program established by Jack Stanford and the other bio station faculty, but it was all solidified when I visited.” Elser began his new duties Dec. 1, though he will not be in residence at the bio station until March 1. Stanford will remain director until Elser arrives and then stay on until June 1 as a UM faculty member to complete research, write and mentor his final graduate students. Elser is a distinguished sustainability scientist in ASU’s Global Institute of Sustainability, as well as a highly acclaimed scholar who has won numerous awards, including Fulbright Scholar (twice), ASU Professor of the Year by the ASU Parents’ Association and the G.E. Hutchinson Award, the most prestigious global award in the aquatic sciences. He also has an exemplary record of earning research grants, including multimillion-dollar awards from the National Science Foundation and NASA. “I hope to bring a broad interdisciplinary and international vision to the station,” Elser says. “Globally, freshwaters are a critically important resource for our very survival, and lakes especially are central in providing economic, cultural and social value. This is especially true for Flathead Lake, which is a treasure of Montana and the whole Northwest.” so much about me, it’s about all the fine people who work with me. We have worked together, most of us, for many years, and that’s something I cherish more than anything.” Now Stanford and Ellis are excited to chase stoneflies in new streams. They are moving to Twisp, Washington, where they At times the station has nearly 40 faculty and staff members on board with a constant stream of students. They have played a major role in raising awareness of water-quality issues, including the threat of aquatic invasive species and the deleterious effects of upstream mining in Canada, leading to a watershed agreement between the U.S. and Canadian governments to protect the Crown of the Continent. The station provided research that helped stop ill-conceived coal mining in Canada. in 1981, Ellis published one of the most cited papers in limnology, detailing how different groups of plankton use carbon dioxide and other nutrients in different ways to spur the primary production in lakes. It, too, was groundbreaking research and to this day still informs the study of water quality. She also led the development of an innovative lake modeling system that is considered a breakthrough for future freshwater research, using the long-term data kept on file since 1977. in 1983, FLBS scientists discovered the first lakewide algae bloom due to pollution in Flathead Lake, and as a result Stanford and others successfully convinced local cities to ban phosphorous-containing detergents that were seeping through faulty sewage treatment systems in the aquifer. A nationwide ban would later sweep the country, rooted in the Flathead Valley’s unprecedented decision. “Those were the days when you could begin to see everything coming together for the station and it becoming something really important,” Stanford says. He added, “What we’ve done here over these many years rests squarely on the shoulders of the many people who have worked here at this field station.
