Multi-Instrument Stream Surveys with Continuous Data for Better Groundwater/Surface Water Understanding in Wisconsin
Groundwater discharge to surface water carries unique thermal and geochemical signatures and provides important ecological services by providing baseflow and stable temperature habitats (Hay...
Assessing Groundwater Quality in Kewaunee County, Wisconsin and Characterizing the Timing and Variability of Enteric Pathogen Contamination within the Dolomite Aquifer in Northeastern Wisconsin
The Silurian dolomite aquifer is an important water source in northeastern Wisconsin. Previous studies have shown that the aquifer is vulnerable to contamination because the dolomite is exte...
Linking Groundwater and Climate to Understand Long-term Lake Level Fluctuations in Wisconsin
Water level changes in lakescan have substantial socio-economic and ecological consequences. Understanding long-term variations in water levels for seepage lakes (i.e., closed-basin systems ...
Assessment of the source and mobility of phosphorus in the hydrologic system in western Wisconsin
Phosphorus loading in Wisconsin is responsible for significant lake eutrophication throughout the state, with severe societal and economic impacts, including a loss of recreational tourism, ...
Geographic, Hydrologic, and Geochemical Characterization of Ra Contaminated Groundwater in Wisconsin
Groundwater, an important source of drinking water in Wisconsin, is susceptible to contamination by naturally occurring metals and radionuclides (e.g., radium). Many wells open to the Cambri...
A Simple Stochastic Model Predicting Conservative Mass Transport Through the Unsaturated Zone Into Groundwater
The development of a Randomized Plug Flow (RPF) model is motivated by the problem of large spatial variability in unsaturated zone parameters. The model utilizes a one-dimensional plug flow ...
