Mary P. Anderson |
Current research interests include groundwater-lake studies and recharge estimation. Our groundwater-lake studies are conducted at NSF's Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site in northern Wisconsin. |
Jean M. Bahr |
The interactions between physical and chemical processes that control mass transport in groundwater are of particular interest to me. |
Herbert F. Wang |
I am interested in poroelastic behavior of rocks and geodynamical modeling because they link observations to geologic processes. |

Kenneth R. Bradbury, WGNHS |
My goal as a scientist working for a state geological survey has been to link my professional interests
with the practical needs of Wisconsin’s citizens, management/regulatory agencies, and the environmental consulting
community. |
Madeline Gotkowitz, WGNHS |
...My areas of research include the geologic and geochemical factors affecting arsenic in Wisconsin's groundwater, regional hydrogeology of western Wisconsin flow and contaminant transport across aquitards, and groundwater use rates in Wisconsin. |
David J. Hart, WGNHS |
...My interests include hydrogeology and near-surface geophysics. My areas of research include wellhead protection, water use, the application of near-surface geophysics to geologic and hydrogeologic problems, and the development of techniques to understand the role of aquitards in flow systems. |

Multiple Aquifer Wells and Groundwater Quality:
In Iowa County, Wisconsin, a large number of low-capacity domestic wells are completed in the sandstone aquifer of the St. Peter Formation. |

|
In the West African country of Burkina Faso water scarcity during the annual dry season is a problem
for local vegetable farmers. In an effort to provide irrigation water to these farmers, development agencies have invested in the construction of small reservoirs which retain surface water for much of the year.

Transient functioning of a groundwater wetland complex, Allequash basin, Wisconsin:
The objective of this research is to quantify groundwater flux, flow directions and residence time of water within a fen/stream complex in the Allequash basin in Vilas County, northern Wisconsin, in order to provide insight into the transient response times and functioning of a wetland. |

Numerical models are used to make a variety of predictions to address environmental problems in Wisconsin and elsewhere. To make good predictions it is necessary to start with a well-calibrated model. |
