The work was completed through Professor Melissa Scanlan\u2019s \u201cWater Consulting\u201d spring graduate-level course that pairs students with public-sector clients to work on real-world water management challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis course is a bridge from graduate school into the workforce,\u201d said Professor Melissa Scanlan, who leads the program. \u201cStudents work in teams to develop consulting skills, meet with industry professionals, and produce research with direct policy relevance.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This spring, students comprised two teams\u2014the Shoreline Team and the Flood Team \u2014each tackling distinct but interconnected topics to Wisconsin\u2019s communities. Both teams collaborated closely with WDNR staff to craft reports to inform the agency\u2019s planning, permitting, and public engagement efforts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-great-lakes-shoreline-identification-analysis\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/centerforwaterpolicy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/667\/2025\/05\/Great-Lakes-Shoreline-Identification-Analysis-Report.pdf\"><strong>Great Lakes Shoreline Identification Analysis<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Shoreline Team&nbsp;<\/em>took on a deceptively simple question: where exactly was Wisconsin\u2019s Great Lakes shoreline when it became a state in 1848?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Wisconsin Act 247, a 2023 law regulating the use of \u201clongstanding fill\u201d on Great Lakes lakebeds, this question has taken on new importance. &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graduate students Elizabeth Modahl, Daniel Wroblewski, Dan Vrobel, and Mutadhid (Avid) Al Obaidi produced their report to&nbsp;navigate this issue. Their goal was to build a flexible, data-driven framework to approximate the statehood-era shoreline\u2014supporting the WDNR\u2019s legal responsibilities while protecting the public\u2019s access to coastal waters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students\u2019 research blended historical lake level data, digital elevation modeling, and analysis of how other Great Lakes states define public trust boundaries. Using digital elevation modeling, they demonstrated how even slight changes in water levels can dramatically shift the shoreline, with visualizations illustrating how these shifts can move the boundary of public trust lands by dozens of feet. \u201cWe found no single method works across all landscapes and there are huge gaps in data from 1848,\u201d said Elizabeth Modahl. \u201cThe team concluded that shoreline boundaries are best established on site on a case-by-case basis, drawing from the best data available in each location, particularly where historical maps or topography vary,\u201d she added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key takeaway from their comparative research is that no other Great Lakes state has a law like Act 247 and is attempting to identify statehood-era shorelines for current regulatory purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rising-waters-rising-costs-understanding-flood-risk-insurance-amp-the-price-of-inaction-nbsp\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/centerforwaterpolicy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/667\/2025\/05\/Rising-Waters-Rising-Costs-Understanding-Flood-Risk-Insurance-the-Price-of-Inaction.pdf\"><strong>Rising Waters, Rising Costs: Understanding Flood Risk, Insurance, &amp; the Price of Inaction<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Flood Team<\/em>&nbsp;examined the evolving landscape of flood risk in Wisconsin\u2014where intensified storms, outdated infrastructure, and environmental inequities are converging to create a perfect storm of vulnerability across the state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graduate students Joe McCormack, Cami Armendariz, Frank Ferrante, Evelyn Grimm, and Stephanie Gruenloh focused their work on the growing risks posed by increasingly frequent and severe rainfall events. Using a mix of ecological, infrastructure, and socioeconomic data, the team observed Wisconsin\u2019s flood-prone areas, paying special attention to neighborhoods outside FEMA-designated flood zones where flood risk is high, but insurance coverage is rare. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese gaps in coverage are often tied to long-standing systemic inequalities in income, housing, and access to information,\u201d according to Cami Armendariz. The team provided side-by-side comparisons of the National Flood Insurance Program and private market policies, pointing out where coverage gaps and confusion still leave many Wisconsinites vulnerable. Their report offers recommendations for where the WDNR can take a more active role in encouraging mitigation strategies that reduce flood risk. &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe truly appreciate the enthusiasm and the hundreds of hours the students dedicated to these projects. Their recommendations are thought-provoking, and the WDNR looks forward to reviewing them further and taking forward what we can for implementation,\u201d said Michael Thompson, WDNR Southeast Secretary\u2019s Director.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Is your organization interested in being a client for an upcoming Water Consulting course?
