Science and Products
Organic waste compounds as contaminants in Milwaukee-area streams
River chloride trends in snow-affected urban watersheds: increasing concentrations outpace urban growth rate and are common among all seasons
Human and bovine viruses in the Milwaukee River Watershed: hydrologically relevant representation and relations with environmental variables
From streets to streams: Assessing the toxicity potential of urban sediment by particle size
Characterizing response of total suspended solids and total phosphorus loading to weather and watershed characteristics for rainfall and snowmelt events in agricultural watersheds
Virtual Beach 3: user's guide
Developing and implementing the use of predictive models for estimating water quality at Great Lakes beaches
Predictive models have been used at beaches to improve the timeliness and accuracy of recreational water-quality assessments over the most common current approach to water-quality monitoring, which relies on culturing fecal-indicator bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli.). Beach-specific predictive models use environmental and water-quality variables that are easily and quickly measured as s
Organic waste compounds in streams: Occurrence and aquatic toxicity in different stream compartments, flow regimes, and land uses in southeast Wisconsin, 2006–9
Partial least squares for efficient models of fecal indicator bacteria on Great Lakes beaches
Effects of best-management practices in Bower Creek in the East River priority watershed, Wisconsin, 1991-2009
Evaluation of potential sources and transport mechanisms of fecal indicator bacteria to beach water, Murphy Park Beach, Door County, Wisconsin
Oxygen demand of aircraft and airfield pavement deicers and alternative freezing point depressants
