Perceived health risks, averting behavior, and the value of improved groundwater quality
This project seeks to assess how households with private wells in Wisconsin respond to growing threats of groundwater contamination, focusing on the economic value they place on reducing hea...
Restoring stream – floodplain – aquifer connectivity in drained peatlands: Quantifying effects of restoration on groundwater storage regimes and hydrologic exchanges
Floodplains, wetlands, streams and riparian aquifers are critical water storage areas that are increasingly recognized for providing ecosystem services including flood attenuation, baseflow ...
Biogeochemical Processes Controlling contaminant Transport and Transformation in a Hydrocarbon Contaminated Aquifer
Hydrocarbon spills that reach the subsurface modify aquifer geochemical conditions. Reducing organic mixtures that reach the subsurface modify the redox environment of a pristine aquifer, af...
Effects of Great Lake Water Level Fluctuations on Groundwater and Forests in Ridge and Swale Ecosystems
Imbalances in Great Lake water inputs and outputs cause Great Lake Water Levels (GLWLs) to fluctuate at annual and decadal time scales with an observed range of ~2m for Lake Michigan-Huron s...
