Research Summary

I conduct local- and county-scale groundwater mapping studies in Wisconsin and assist local and state governments, industries, and the public in interpreting and using the information to make informed decisions about groundwater. I develop educational groundwater materials and participate in outreach to increase awareness of the groundwater resources at the WGNHS and ensure they are easily accessible to stakeholders. My research interests include the sources and fate of naturally-occurring groundwater contaminants, trends in groundwater quality, and anthropogenic influences on groundwater quality.
