Current Research
The Ehlinger laboratory at UW-Milwaukee has been continuously involved in the design, implementation, monitoring and management of the Pike River project since 1996. The Long Term Maintenance Plan, implemented in 2017 for the Village of Mt. Pleasant provides a unique opportunity to both harvest rich learning from the pathways taken to arrive at today, and also to establish structures and processes for community-driven engagement that promote learning and adaptive resilience into the future. We are using the Pike River as a case study to create a community-engagement process to be applied and tested in other Great Lakes watersheds where there is a need to address conflicting perceptions and perspectives.
