Influence of drought on littoral habitat and fisheries
Increased frequency and/or severity of drought conditions and associated reductions in lake levels are predicted outcomes of climate change in many regions.

Differences in warming patterns are important for predicting the impacts of climate change.
Often extreme events, more than changes in mean conditions, have the greatest impact on the environment and human well-being.
NTL researchers and water resource managers across Wisconsin assembled a unique hydrologic data set of water levels and meteorology in northern Wisconsin and the Laurentian Great Lakes region.
Fire is a complex phenomenon that responds to climate and vegetation and may become more difficult to manage in the context of global climate and land use change.
Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts, a project to assess and anticipate the impact of climate change on Wisconsin’s natural resources, ecosystems and regions.
Undergraduate exploring the interface between journalism and environmental studies as the outreach specialist for the Crystal Lake Mixing Project.
WICCI represents a unique and innovative process to develop a statewide climate change adaptation strategy.
How will the benefits we receive from our diverse landscapes be sustained as climate, land use, cities, and human demands change?
The overarching theme of this research is to determine how lake variables (e.g. ice cover, thermal structure, water level) have changed during the past century, and how they may continue to change under a changing climate. Currently, I am focusing on one dimensional and three dimensional hydrodynamic modeling of the NTL-LTER study lakes. Development of hydrodynamic models allows for understanding of lake dynamics that cannot be captured by field measurements, and also provides the ability to predict how changes in external ...
