Mud Lake experiences severe lake eutrophication throughout the summer months. Although anthropogenic nutrient sources have been identified as a contributing factor, an ongoing investigation at UW-Eau Claire has demonstrated ...

This study seeks to measure baseflow conditions in West-Central Wisconsin to aid in determining the impacts of groundwater withdrawals on local streams. Streamflow is measured monthly at fifteen (15) sites across eleven ...

The rocks containing the Crandon deposit are part of the Pembine-Wausau Terrain and formed ~1.85 billion years ago. These formed in a bark-arc setting as part of the Penokean Orogeny. Arc-derived sediments eventually covered ...

Lake eutrophication due to nutrient loading from phosphorus (P) is a growing problem across the Midwest, causing a loss of aquatic biodiversity, damage to fisheries, and adverse impacts on human health. Although eutrophication ...

An important skill in geology is the ability to visualize spatial relationships of geologic units beneath the Earth. Virtual and physical models allow students to observe and measure geologic structures and visualize their ...

The purpose of this research is to determine the temporal relationship between the intrusions and the surrounding volcanic rocks hosting the Lynne Zn-Cu-Pb deposit in Oneida County, WI. Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) ...

The expansion of silica sand mining and concentrated animal feeding operations in western WI over the past decade has generated concerns about potential contamination of surface water and groundwater systems. However, the ...

Americans churn out an average of over 7 pounds of trash each day. As landfills reach capacity, it is becoming ever more critical to cultivate effective waste-sorting habits that can reduce waste-stream contamination, ...

This study examines the sulfide mineralization of three of the ore zones within in the Lynne Zn-Cu-Pb deposit to determine how the mineralizing hydrothermal system formed and evolved over time. These sulfide mineral ores ...

The lack of accurate, consistent, and precise data collection of exhumed fossils has been a major obstacle to developing consistent inferences and conclusions based on paleontological work. We have developed and designed ...
