SUMMARY:J. Elmo Rawling Colloquia
DESCRIPTION:Great Lakes shorelines are particularly dynamic because of decadal period high-amplitude water level fluctuations and seasonality. Lake Michigan water levels approached a near all-time high in 2019 and have since returned to their near long-term average. This led to widespread erosion of coastal bluffs and beaches and provided an opportunity to study these processes with modern equipment such as unmanned aerial vehicles\, remote control boats and high resolution RTK GPS.  In addition\, Lake Michigan experiences less and more variable ice cover during the winter along its southern shoreline than its northern shoreline.  This provides an opportunity to study the impact of ice on the sediment budget of cold coasts.  This presentation will summarize a decade of field\, laboratory\, and modeling studies on the sediment budget of Lake Michigan during one lake-level fluctuation.

SUMMARY:Jiyan Hatami Colloquia
DESCRIPTION:Geoscientists are increasingly needed for solving the problems of tomorrow\, but what if you do not want to work in extractive industries (i.e. mining or oil and gas)? Environmental consulting is a growing field of scientists working to minimize the impacts of industrial/commercial processes that have had an adverse impact on the communities they serve. Environmental consultants bridge the gap between industry and the public sector\, ensuring that investigation and remediation of environmental impacts are conducted to industry standards\, regardless of their client. Consultants also serve a key role in reshaping underserved communities that have been left behind following decades of deindustrialization in the United States\, specifically in the Midwest. By combining hydrogeology\, engineering\, and urban planning expertise\, consultants help communities leverage their former industrial/commercial properties into revitalized downtowns\, riverfronts\, and more. This talk aims to describe what an environmental consultant does and offer tips on navigating your early career\, as told by an early career professional with 3 years of consulting experience.

SUMMARY:Matt Magruder Colloquia
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Research Manager\, MMSD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) manages a service area of 423 square miles. Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) is an important component of MMSD’s wet-weather management\, helping reduce peak inflows that contribute to combined sewer overflow (CSO)\, separate sewer overflow (SSO)\, and flooding.  MMSD\, seeking to optimize GSI investments\, had numerous questions about GSI effectiveness\, including quantifying the effect of existing GSI\, identifying where additional GSI deployment would make the greatest impact\, quantifying performance impacts of additional GSI development\, and exploring how climate change may impact system performance and the effectiveness of GSI.  As part of MMSD and Marquette University’s collaborative WaterCare research program\, MMSD\, Marquette\, and Confluency teamed together to investigate these questions. A multi-pronged approach was defined to investigate the feasibility\, impact\, and resilience of climate infrastructure. These distinct but related analytical approaches are: \n\n\n\n\nMulti-Factor Geospatial GSI Prioritization\n\n\n\nHydraulic Analysis of GSI Alternatives\n\n\n\nClimate Resilience Analysis\n\n\n\n\nMulti-Factor Geospatial GSI Prioritization: Over 40 data layers were analyzed to score benefits within five categories: Hydraulic\, Geographic\, Feasibility\, Socioeconomic\, and Biodiversity.  A python-based geoprocessing tool was developed to automate the intersection and summary of data layers at the subcatchment scale. A benefit weighting approach was used to create several distinct prioritization scenarios\, and an ArcGIS Online dashboard was developed to visualize GSI prioritization under different scenarios (Figure 1). Key aspects of the GIS prioritization tool include: \n\n\n\n\nAbility of MMSD staff to re-run independently\n\n\n\nInclusion of hydraulic impacts from thousands of hydraulic simulations\n\n\n\nInclusion of climate change resilience metrics\n\n\n\nUse of agile methods to iterate rapidly and affordably towards MMSD objectives.\n\n\n\n\nHydraulic Analysis: The impacts of GSI differ based on system type\, and hydraulic capacity of the sewer system. MMSD’s system already manages over 98% of wet-weather runoff.  A composite wet-weather benefit metric was developed that weights benefits based on reduced CSO\, SSO\, tunnel inflow\, and flow to the treatment plant. GSI planning areas were grouped into 53 distinct groups across the service area. Impervious area was reduced by 20% and 40% within the GSI planning area to simulate the impact of inflow reduction in a type-agnostic manner. 12 individual storms were evaluated using event-based simulation\, and the full 2014 rainfall was evaluated to understand continuous impacts. Aggregate GI scenarios were then defined to evaluate the impact of grouped high-performing areas in aggregate. \n\n\n\nClimate Resilience: Statistically downscaled climate data was obtained from the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts (WICCI) – these datasets included spatially varying rainfall across the service area across a roughly 12 year period. Temperature and precipitation for the 12 historical events were updated based on conditions in 28 distinct general circulation models (GCMs)\, 3 shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs)\, for mid-century and end-of century. GCMs were screened based on equilibrium sensitivity to define a reduced set of 10 GCMs. Each event was simulated under each climate scenario for 9 distinct GSI prioritization scenarios.  Figure 2 shows the change in CSO versus precipitation across the suite of climate scenarios evaluated. Figure 3 shows the variability in climate change impacts on rainfall\, CSO\, and SSO\, across SSP conditions. A climate change robustness metric was developed to quantify a GSI scenario’s ability to offset adverse hydraulic impacts from future climate scenarios\, and incorporated as a layer in the multi-factor GSI prioritization tool.  Inclusion of a climate resilience metric is a way of including robustness to potential adverse impacts from climate change as one consideration\, among many\, for identifying GSI implementation areas that provide the most benefit across a range of uncertain climate futures. \n\n\n\nOutcome: The multi-pronged GSI planning process\, including the utility facing prioritization dashboard\, has provided an improved ability for MMSD to discuss GSI investment needs\, identify high-impact locations where GSI would provide greatest benefit\, and balance longer-range considerations such as the potential to buffer adverse impacts of climate change. Integration of large-scale automated simulation approaches\, together with downscaled climate data\, provided novel datasets for a more comprehensive quantification of hydraulic impact and climate resilience. The agile delivery approach of the planning tool helped MMSD input and feedback be incorporated into the utility dashboard\, and enable self-service updates and re-runs as additional and/or newer datasets become available or scoring priorities evolve.

SUMMARY:Dr. Jeff Munroe Colloquia
DESCRIPTION:Middlebury College\, Middlebury\, Vermont \n\n\n\nTitle: The unique geologic identity of diverse Vermont vineyards \n\n\n\nTeams Link:  CLICK HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe recently formalized concept of ‘Vineyard Geological Identity’ (VGI) was applied to two vineyards in the Champlain Valley of Vermont\, USA. The vineyards studied\, LP and SV\, both produce the hybrid grape known as ‘Marquette’\, are at equivalent elevations\, have a similar macroclimate\, and were inundated by proglacial Lake Vermont during the last deglaciation. In contrast\, the bedrock differs beneath the two sites\, and SV was under shallow marine water immediately after Lake Vermont drained. The hypothesis tested was that despite their similar physical settings\, the VGI of the two vineyards would vary as a result of differences in their late-Quaternary histories. Samples of soil and sediment were evaluated for grain size distribution\, thermogravimetric analysis\, mineralogy\, major element chemistry\, and standard soil fertility assessments\, and a map of soil conductivity was made for each site. Results reveal that base cations and silt are significantly more abundant at LP. Conversely\, at SV\, Na is significantly more abundant\, samples are coarser and soil conductivity is higher. These results illuminate the utility of VGI for defining the fingerprint of individual vineyards\, and establish a physical foundation for future work evaluating the role of physical setting in controlling aspects of Marquette wines.

SUMMARY:Dr. Susan Swanson Colloquia
DESCRIPTION:Director\, State Geologist Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey \n\n\n\nTitle: Threats to Groundwater Resources in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (CNNF) in northern Wisconsin contains numerous groundwater-dependent water resources that may be vulnerable to potential effects of land development\, mining\, and climate change. The Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey (WGNHS) is working with the U.S. Forest Service and the Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC) to assess current conditions and better understand these potential threats to groundwater resources in the CNNF. WGNHS recently inventoried groundwater resources in the four units of the CNNF (Park Falls\, Medford\, Nicolet\, Washburn/Great Divide) to assess forest-wide water quality conditions. Samples from over 160 lakes\, streams\, and wells were analyzed for major ion chemistry in 2016 and again in 2021-22. Throughout the national forest\, mostly non-carbonate unlithified glacial deposits overlie crystalline bedrock. As a result\, concentrations of most ions in groundwater and surface waters are relatively low. Locally\, elevated chloride suggests some influence from road salting. However\, water quality in all four units of the CNNF is very good and considered pristine in many areas\, thus highlighting its vulnerability to human activities in the future. Additional studies are further characterizing water chemistry and establishing baseline hydrogeologic conditions near the Bend Copper-Gold Deposit\, a potentially viable deposit for mining. WGNHS is also investigating the vulnerability of seepage lakes to groundwater flooding. For the many seepage lakes and wetlands in the region\, projected changes in the amount of precipitation and the frequency of extreme events brings flooding concerns from rising groundwater and threats to groundwater-dependent habitats. The subtle glacial topography of the region and variations in the elevation of the bedrock surface can lead to differences between surface flows and groundwater movement further complicating the prediction of these often prolonged flooding events. This talk will highlight results from these three projects\, as well as provide an overview of the broader mission and work of the WGNHS.

SUMMARY:Darwin Day at the Thomas A. Greene Geological Museum 
DESCRIPTION:When: Saturday\, February 15th\, 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM  \n\n\n\nWhere: 3209 N Maryland Ave\, Lapham Hall\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53211  \n\n\n\nDarwin Day is a community science outreach event celebrating the life and times of one of the most brilliant and influential Victorian naturalists\, Charles R. Darwin. Darwin was an avid geologist and biologist who most famously developed the theory of natural selection—one of the driving mechanisms behind biological evolution—published in his seminal work: On the Origin of Species. Today\, this theory forms the foundation for many of our natural sciences. Darwin Day is a national celebration of Darwin’s scientific legacy typically held on (or near) his birthday.  \n\n\n\nDarwin Day is a free event and open to guests of all ages. Many wonderful geological and biological specimens will be available to observe\, with volunteers on hand to explain their fascinating histories. Learning tables focusing on the natural history of Wisconsin and the contributions of Thomas A. Greene to our understanding of local Wisconsin geology will be spread throughout Lapham Hall\, with many rare and beautiful samples on display from the Thomas A. Greene geological collection.

SUMMARY:Field Course Information Session
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lindsay McHenry discusses field course options \nIf you are an undergraduate student who has yet to take a field course\, please come to learn more about it. We’ll have a guest from the Financial Aid office to help navigate the process of applying financial aid to summer field courses taken elsewhere. We’ll have students who have recently taken field courses share their experiences. And I will also talk about the basics of what it is and where to find out more about it. \nIf you’ve already taken a field course– great! I’m looking for volunteers to give short presentations on their field course experiences (with or without pictures). Would you recommend the course you took? What should students know before they go?
