Rising waters, shrinking habitats: the influence of fluctuating water levels on the geology and ecology of a Great Lakes archipelago Overview: Global and regional environmental change has resulted in water-level changes in the world’s oceans and large lakes....
Thermal imaging to characterize the spatial distribution of temperature in freshwater springs Overview: During the Wisconsin Springs Gateway project, we will explore how local variations in topography, surficial geology, and bedrock geology influence the spatial...
Carbon sequestration by enhanced silicate weathering in agricultural soils Overview: Amending agricultural soils with powdered silicate rocks (“rock dust”) is an emerging carbon dioxide (CO2) removal technology with reported co-benefits to farmers in the form of...
Using the geochemistry of sediments (and metasediments) as windows into the evolution of ancient and modern mountain ranges Overview: As plates subduct and continents collide, mountains are formed. There are many ways to study mountains; we will focus on the histories...
Biogeochemical controls on natural and anthropogenic groundwater contaminants in California’s Central Valley Overview: California’s Central Valley (Figure 1) is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world. To support the agriculture industry,...
