Surface Water and Sediment Studies
The Surface Water and Sediment Studies Team investigates the quantity and quality of surface-water runoff, fluvial geomorphology, and sediment transport. The team provides critical monitoring and assessment information to water resource decision-makers and communities involved in stream habitat rehabilitation, water regulation, urban development planning, agricultural management and remediation activities.
|
 |
Groundwater Systems
The Groundwater Systems Team investigates and provides data on Wisconsin groundwater that enables proper management of resources and facilitates an understanding of groundwater quantity and quality.
|
 |
Surface-water Quality Monitoring
The Surface-water Quality Monitoring Team investigates and collects data on the physical, chemical, biological, geological interactions in rivers and streams in Wisconsin and the U.S. using new technologies and techniques.
|
 |
Lake Studies
The Lake Studies team investigates lake ecosystem dynamics, or how lakes function and respond to environmental changes. The team gathers and analyzes data on water quality, flow, nutrients, human effects, and many other environmental factors.
|
 |
Beach Health
Beach water-quality (beach health) data is collected for Great Lakes beaches and Wisconsin coastal and inland beaches. Data is supplied to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other collaborators for use in national-level data collection.
|
 |
Non-point Evaluation Studies
Non-point evaluation is the study of water-quality issues caused by runoff and contamination of the environment from sources spread widely across an area, not from a small number of identifiable locations.
|
 |
Mercury Studies
The Mercury Studies team provides expert assistance to state and Federal agencies in understanding mercury in our environment. It operates the state-of-the-art USGS Mercury Research Laboratory located in Middleton, Wisconsin.
|
 |
Regional and National Assessments
The Regional and National Assessments Team assesses and analyzes new or existing data describing the quantity and quality of water and aquatic biology at regional and national scales.
|
 |
Center for Integrated Data Analytics (CIDA)
The Center for Integrated Data Analytics provides expert database services for water resources-related information at local, state, national, and international levels.
|
 |
Wisconsin Internet Mapping (WiM)
The WiM (Wisconsin Internet Mapping) group develops, implements, and maintains internet mappers utilizing the Flex API and ESRI ArcGIS Server web application. We incorporate base services and geoprocessing tools from ESRI, Microsoft and Google to increases performance and allow for ease of creation and maintenance of mappers efficiently and economically.
