limnology
Let an agent explain limnology and its subfields, relay methods, key concepts and applications from aquatic science sources, describe the subfields the registry aliases name, and distinguish limnology from oceanography, hydrology and freshwater ecology alone.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain limnology and its subfields, relay methods, key concepts and applications from aquatic science sources, describe the subfields the registry aliases name, and distinguish limnology from oceanography, hydrology and freshwater ecology alone.
The scientific study of inland waters, including lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, wetlands and groundwater, covering their physical, chemical, biological and geological properties, with subfields such as physical limnology of water movement and heat, freshwater biology of organisms and ecosystems, paleolimnology reconstructing past environments from lake sediments, and forensic limnology using aquatic evidence such as diatoms in investigations.
What it is for: Understanding inland waters.
It can be explain the field; relay methods and concepts; describe subfields; distinguish related sciences.
