SUMMARY:Darwin Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:Event Overview \n\n\n\nDarwin Day is a public 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\nThis event is free 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 will focus on the natural history of Wisconsin and the contributions of the Thomas A. Greene to our understanding of local geology\, with many rare and beautiful samples on display in the Greene Geological Museum. Other activities will be available throughout the day\, including scientific lectures presented by UWM scientists and guest speakers\, coloring and crafts for young kids\, and free planetarium shows. See the activities list and schedule of events below for more information. \n\n\n\nWe can’t wait to see you there! \n\n\n\nEvent Activities\n\n\n\nGreene Geological Museum: \n\n\n\nOur small but mighty museum of rocks\, minerals\, and fossils will be open for guests to tour throughout the event. The Greene Geological Museum houses specimens collected by the prolific collector and namesake\, Thomas A. Greene\, throughout the mid-to-late 19th century from both Wisconsin and other locales. Many of the mineralogical specimens on display are one-of-a-kind\, and originate from localities no longer accessible to modern geologists! The Museum is also highly valuable for paleontological research\, and houses the single best collection of marine Silurian invertebrate fossils in North America. If you have never had the opportunity to visit the Museum\, now is a great time! \n\n\n\nLearning Tables: \n\n\n\nSee and learn about your own Wisconsin natural heritage! Numerous tables will be set up throughout the first floor of Lapham Hall displaying a wide assortment of specimens including rocks\, minerals\, fossils\, and even animals! Volunteers—our very own UWM students and staff—will be available all day to teach you about these fascinating objects\, their importance to the natural sciences\, and their value to our local communities. \n\n\n\nLectures: \n\n\n\nThree lectures will be presented throughout the day by UWM scientists and guest speakers. Lectures will cover topics related to Wisconsin geology\, biology\, and Milwaukee history. These lectures will be short\, digestible\, and accessible to a general audience. Our keynote lecture will discuss modern Antarctic exploration and the natural sciences of Antarctica! \n\n\n\nStudent Research Showcase: \n\n\n\nUWM is a leading national research institution\, and our students will make sure you don’t forget it! Stop by our student research showcase table throughout the day to learn what our very own geoscience and biological science graduate students are working on. Students will cycle in throughout the day\, come by a few times and check out the groundbreaking research going on here at UWM! \n\n\n\nThomas A. Greene’s Glowing Cavern: \n\n\n\nThese minerals really glow! Come see our most impressive fluorescent minerals literally glow in the dark. A small\, guided space will be available all day to experience minerals in a way few people ever do\, \n\n\n\nChildren’s Activities Tables: \n\n\n\nFor parents\, activities will be available their young children. This includes coloring\, arts and crafts\, and even an interactive sandbox. Remember\, you’re never too young to start learning! \n\n\n\nTouch Tables: \n\n\n\nSee\, touch\, and discover! Stop by and explore an array of fascinating specimens and models\, all safe to touch. Experience natural history with all of your senses!

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:Career Workshop and Research Event
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Geosciences will host a combined ‘Career Workshop and Research’ event for our students and alumni on April 21st\, 2017.  Every Spring\, the Department of Geosciences hosts a student symposium to highlight the exciting research conducted by our students\, this year we have combined this event with a career workshop for our students.  This one-day event\, the first of its kind hosted by the Department\, was developed in response to student demand for career information\, and was made possible by our connection to our dedicated alumni\, several of whom will serve as presenters for the career workshop.  This event will include a morning dedicated to our students featuring presentations by professional geoscientists\, a lunch for our students\, alumni and guests\, and an afternoon symposium dedicated to sharing student research within our department\, and for our alumni and guests. \nPresenters in the morning workshop will highlight geoscience careers in both private and public sector\, in disciplines that include hydrogeology\, environmental consulting\, mineral exploration\, oil exploration\, and regulatory enforcement.  The presenters include an alumni presenter from an environmental engineering firm that supports mineral exploration\, two alumni presenters from a local environmental consulting firm\, one alumni presenter actively involved in executing oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico\, and two representatives from the Southeast Regional office of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.  The speakers for the morning workshop include: \n\nDan Wiitala\, P.
