Climate change and the Great Lakes
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....
Water Quality in the Shenandoah Valley
Assessing Ground and Surface Water Quality in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia Overview: The goal of this Advanced Research Project is to equip upper level students with a deeper understanding of environmental geochemistry, fluvial sedimentology, and hydrology while...
Wisconsin Freshwater Springs
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 through enhanced weathering
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...
Evolution of ancient and modern mountain ranges
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...
Groundwater in California’s Central Valley
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,...

A Whole New World
For someone who’s deathly afraid of drowning, scuba diving was NOT on my bucket list of things to do. But I always had a fascination for the ocean sciences
